Bristol won last weekend but their hopes of reaching the end-of-season PREM Rugby play-offs still came to an end. They are sixth in the table and end the season with an away trip to seventh-placed Sale Sharks. The home side have lost their last three games and our prediction is an away victory on a +19.5 handicap.
The away side are six points behind the fourth place that iis needed to go into the play-offs. That's a gap they cannot claw back so this will be their final match of the season. Last weekend saw them beat second-placed Bath at home but that followed the disastrous 94-33 loss at Northampton Saints.
Bristol have had a tough season with injuries and other selection problems. They have won 11 of their 17 league games, losing the other six. Their away league form has been mixed with four wins but the same number of defeats. Four of their last five away games have been lost.
Sale Sharks are only one place below Bristol but there's a 23-point difference. They have only won four PREM Rugby fixtures this season with 13 defeats. They are five points clear of ninth place and need a top eight finish to qualify for the ERCC.
The Sharks have lost their last three matches, most recently a loss at bottom-placed Newcastle Red Bulls.
