This weekend sees the final set of PREM Rugby fixtures before a two-month break. Northampton Saints are second and will go back to the top of the table if they can win at seventh-placed Sale Sharks. Read more in our match prediction below.
Saints were the league leaders but on Friday evening, Bath won at Gloucester to go three points clear at the top of the table. A win for Northampton is not an easy task plus Saints are planning some squad rotation.
Northampton are in form with seven of their last eight league games being won. Six of the last seven in all competitions have seen victories recorded. The only recent loss was away at Bordeaux Begles.
Sale have won three league games this season but been beaten six times. All three of their league wins have come on home soil with a points difference of +94. 100 points were scored in two home league wins over Harlequins and Newcastle with only Exeter beating them 27-26.
All five of their away league fixtures have been lost. That includes a 47-21 loss at Northampton. Last weekend saw them lose 77-7 at Stade Toulousain but having already qualified, they rested their best players.
We tip Sale to win.

Our Sale Sharks vs Northampton Saints Prediction
Sale Sharks would be in title contention but for their poor away record. 28 of their last 32 home league games have been won. You have to go back to the 21/22 season for the last time they lost more than one home game in the main season.
It's going to be a tough game for Northampton and some players may be rested for this fixture. Their last four league visits to Sale have all ended in defeat. Our Sale Sharks v Northampton Saints prediction is Sale Sharks wins.
