Bath vs Bristol Prediction: This is a tough test for Bristol despite recent strong performances

Bath and Bristol will battle it out in the third round of the Gallagher Premiership Rugby. Bristol won the last meeting of this fixture. Let’s preview this game and make predictions.

Bath are playing so well this season and will look to keep things rolling here. In their opening-day game, the home team secured a 38-16 win over Northampton Saints. However, last weekend against Leicester Tigers, Bath secured a 15-20 victory thanks to a 5-15 second-half win, good enough to overturn their 10-5 deficit at halftime. Heading into this game, the home team sits 2nd in the standings with 9 points. 

Bristol started their season against Newcastle Falcons and secured a 3-24 win. However, in game 2, this team were unlucky against Gloucester, losing 41-44. In that game, this team lost 15-28, and while they pulled off a 26-16 win in the second half, it was not enough to seal a win for them. Heading into this game, the visiting team is seated 3rd in the league standings with 7 points. 

Bristol have been a very tough side to beat for Bath, but in this game, I think things will go the other way. Bath, this season has been very impressive, and they are playing so well at the moment. While Bristol have been very good offensively this season, I think this should be a very competitive game, ending with many points, while Bath win with a good run.
