Bath vs Northampton Saints Prediction: Saints are in hot form

The Recreation Ground will host the Premiership Rugby encounter between Bath and Northampton Saints. The road team has dominated this fixture. How will this one end?

Bath returned to winning ways last weekend against the Newcastle Falcons, enjoying a 17-28 win on the road. In the meantime, that win was the hosts’ second in five games, the first against Exeter Chiefs. However, other encounters in that run saw Bath lost to Harlequins, Exeter Chiefs, and Saracens. This season, Bath have accumulated 55 points from 17 matches, positioning them 3rd in the standings.

Northampton Saints got back to winning ways after consecutive losses to Harlequins and Leinster. In their last weekend encounter, this side secured a big 90-0 dominant win, thanks to a 40-0 halftime lead and second-half brilliant 50 goals. Heading into this encounter, Northampton Saints are seated at the top of the standings with 60 points.

Northampton Saints have been a top side in the lead, and coming in as underdogs, they are still worth considering. On the other hand, Bath are working hard to finish in the top three in the standings, and with quality, they can not be written off. Regardless, this game is expected to be tight, and a bet on the visiting team to close the odds, with the total points being high, are good options.
