Sale Sharks host Exeter Chiefs in this Group A Premiership Cup round four fixture on Friday. The Sharks are second in the group with seven points, while the Chiefs are bottom with four (although with a game in hand). Here is our prediction.
Sale Sharks suffered a shock home defeat to the Gloucester Rugby in their second Premiership Cup match earlier in the month. The Sharks won the second half by six points against the visitors, but a decisive first-half deficit saw them fall by just one point, losing 29-28.
They have struggled recently for results but have enjoyed an impressive run in their last eight home fixtures, dating back to last season. Marco Bortolami’s side have also won each of their last three home matches against Exeter Chiefs.
Exeter Chiefs fell 29-15 to the Gloucester Rugby in their opening Premiership Cup game. However, they bounced back in their second fixture in the competition, defeating defending champions Bath Rugby 23-14 away.
Rob Baxter’s men will head into this match on the back of strong recent results, having won three of their last four games. Nevertheless, they have struggled against Sale Sharks lately, losing three of their last four meetings with the Salford-based club.
