Bath Rugby will look to strengthen their bid to seal a spot in the next round when they travel to face Sale Sharks in this 2025–26 Premiership Cup Group Round 7 fixture on Sunday. They are fourth in the standings with 11 points, while Sale Sharks are third with 12 points. Here is our prediction.
Sale Sharks ride a three-match losing streak heading into this clash, including a staggering 45-point defeat to Exeter Chiefs in their last Premiership Cup match. They lost both halves by double digits against the Chiefs, including a 33–0 second-half shutdown, ultimately collapsing to a 59–14 defeat.
Marco Bortolami's side have now lost three of their five 2025–26 Premiership Cup matches and four of their most recent five games overall. They have posted a below-par 2–0–3 record in their last five home fixtures across all competitions.
Bath Rugby came from two points down in the first half to defeat group leaders Gloucester 30–26 in their last Premiership Rugby fixture. That victory marked their second in four games in the competition and narrowed their gap from the top two to just two points.
Johann van Graan's side ride an impressive four-match winning streak heading into this clash. Moreover, they have beaten Sale Sharks in all of their last six meetings.
