Sale Sharks are in seventh place in PREM Rugby and struggling to qualify for next season's European Rugby Champions Cup.. This Sunday see them host third-placed Leicester Tigers. Recent Sale fixtures have seen plenty of points conceded and another loss is our prediction.

The top eight in PREM Rugby qualify for next season's ERCC and Sale began this weekend two places and seven points above ninth-placed Harlequins. The Sharks have only won four of their 15 league fixtures this eason, losing the other 11.

Their most recent game saw them beaten at eighth-placed Gloucester. That was their third loss in four matches with the only recent win being against Harlequins. Each of their last four home league matches have been lost.. Last time out they were beaten 85-19 by Saracens.

Leicester Tigers are third in PREM Rugby and seven points clear of fifth place. The top four go into the end-of-season play-offs. With fifth-placed Bristol already losing this weekend, a win for the Tigers will virtually clinch their play-off place.

Leicester have won 11 of their l5 league matches played this season. On the road, they have won three but been beaten four times. Their most recent away league fixture saw them narrowly lose to Saracens by four points.
