Sale Sharks will begin their 2025-26 Premiership Rugby campaign playing host to Gloucester on Thursday. Can the Sharks overcome the Cherry and Whites to kickstart their campaign on a winning note? Here is our prediction for the match.
Sale Sharks had a respectable Premiership Rugby campaign last season, finishing third in the rankings with 58 points. Their journey ended in the semi-final, where they lost 21-16 to Leicester Tigers. They have won three of their last four matches, including a 24-15 victory over Bristol Bears in their Premiership Cup opener this season.
Moreover, new manager Marco Bortolami will hope to build on the team's recent strong record at home. They have won their last five home matches, the recent three by good margins.
Gloucester Rugby failed to qualify for the playoffs last season, finishing just two points below the top four. However, they rounded up their campaign on a strong note, winning their last two matches.
Notably, George Skivington's side set the tone for a strong start to their campaign this season, defeating Exeter Chiefs 29-15 in the Premiership Cup opener. However, they stumbled in their last fixture, losing 40-24 to Bristol Bears. They are also winless in their last five trips to face Sale Sharks in Premiership Rugby.
