Bath vs. Leicester Tigers: Will the Leicester Tigers Remain Unbeaten?

For round 17 of the Gallagher Premiership Rugby, Bath and Leicester Tigers will compete on 19 February 2022 at the Recreation Ground, Bath, England. Given the history of explicit wins between these teams, the game will definitely be of interest to the fans.

Bath has won 2 games in the Premiership against Worcester 22-19 and Harlequin 21-17 and will certainly look forward to adding another win to the list. Against Leicester, out of the last 5 games played, Bath has been defeated in 2. Their most recent win against Leicester was last year with a very thin margin of 21-20. However, for this season of the Premiership, Bath is the lowest-scoring team and is ranked at the bottom. Bath is leading the head-to-head, but for this year’s Premiership, they need to experience more successful games in order to climb their way up the scoreboard. Leading the head-to-head will act as a confidence booster for the team and force them to put more commitment into winning the game.

For this year’s Premiership, Leicester Tigers are ranked number 01 in the standings with one of the highest scores amongst the participating teams. Out of the last five games they played in the Premiership 2022, they were able to beat Newcastle Falcons 31-0, Worcester Warriors 36-16, Northampton Saints 35-20, and these are all undoubtedly tremendous successes with a great score difference. Baths are leading the Premiership head-to-head with a single win, but the last time Leicester defeated them was with a score, 40-23, and that surely means that they are aiming to build a winning streak against the team. Since both the teams will be playing with the urge to win and strengthen their previous tournament record, they’ll be discerning their chance to do so.
