Both of these clubs won their opening English Premiership league fixture last weekend. They were also both losing semi-finalists in last season's play-offs. A close game looks likely, here's our match prediction.
Saracens began the new English Premiership season well with a 35-26 win at Gloucester. They were in charge throughout the game and went into the break with a ten-point lead. Five tries were scored by them in that game.
Last season saw them finish fourth in the table with 11 wins and seven defeats. That took them into the play-offs but they lost in the semi-finals at eventual champions Northampton Saints but only by a couple of points.
Six of their nine home league games were won last season with the other three being lost. They'll be looking for some revenge this weekend after losing at home to the Sharks last season.
Sale finished on the same number of points as Saracens last season but took third place. They also lost in the play-off semi-finals, going down 31-23 at Bath. Only four of their nine regular season away games were won last season.
The other five all saw the Sharks beaten and we go for Saracens to make home advantage pay and win this game. They can lead at both half and full time.
