This Premiership Rugby round six fixture will see seventh-placed Sale Sharks host third-placed Exeter Chiefs on Friday. The Sharks will look to bounce back with a win against the Chiefs after recent setbacks. Check out our prediction for the match below.
Sale Sharks fell by just one point away to Leicester Tigers in their last Premiership Rugby outing in October. They won the second half 28-14, but a decisive 15-point deficit in the first half saw them lose 36-35 to the Tigers.
That result marked their third league defeat in four matches. Overall, Marco Bortolami's men have lost five of their last seven matches across all competitions, including a 20-0 shutout defeat to Bath Rugby in the Premiership Cup at the weekend. Nevertheless, they have been difficult opponents for Exeter Chiefs, winning four of their last five encounters.
Exeter Chiefs saw off Gloucester Rugby in their last Premiership Rugby match, winning both halves by impressive margins to dismantle the Gloucester-based rivals 39-12. They also defeated Bristol Bears in the Premiership Cup at the weekend to rack up their third win in four games. A solid 3-1-1 record has lifted them to third in the standings with 19 points – four behind leaders Northampton Saints.

Rob Baxter's side have won three of their five league matches this season and three of their last four games across all competitions. Nevertheless, they fought against Sale Sharks. Hence, we expect a tight contest that could swing either way by a respectable margin. Our Sale Sharks vs Exeter Chiefs prediction is Exeter Chiefs +5.5 handicap points.
