Leicester Tigers have made a great start to their Rugby Premiership Cup campaign. They top Pool B and on Saturday travel to Northampton Saints who are only fourth in the table. Time for our match prediction.

The top two in the pool qualify for the play-offs. Leicester are looking very likely to fill one of those places. They have 18 points, giving them a seven point lead over second placed Saracens and Newcastle Red Bulls in third. Northampton are a further point behind in fourth with Harlequins yet to earn a point.

The Tigers have won all four of their pool matches. They began with a 20-7 home win over Saracens and then won 25-17 at Harlequins. A narrow two-point win came at Newcastle Red Bulls before beating Northampton 34-22 on home soil.

Northampton Saints are top of PREM Rugby but they play a very different line-up in this competition as do the other nine clubs. Their top international players are all off preparing for the upcoming Six Nations tournament.

The absence of their top players explains how they lost at home to Newcastle in this competition.  They have beaten Saracens and Harlequins but lost their other two games. We tip Leicester Tigers to win this match.

Our Northampton Saints vs Leicester Tigers Prediction

Leicester Tigers are flying high at the top of this pool after four successive wins. That includes beating Northampton Saints at home by a 12-point margin. Going to Franklin's Gardens is not an easy task but not quite so difficult this time with Northampton's best players not available for selection.

Northampton Saints are fourth in the pool and in danger of not qualifying. That would be a distinct possibility if they were to be beaten in this game. With so many players absent, this will be close. Our Northampton Saints v Leicester Tigers prediction is Leicester Tigers wins.
