Northampton Saints and Saracens Prediction: expect a high-score match

The round one match of the English Premiership Cup between Northampton Saints and Saracens will be played at Franklin’s Gardens in Northampton. While both teams will hope to get a win in this match to boost their chances of qualifying for the playoffs, we give you a detailed analysis of the match and expert predictions.

Northampton has two points in one match played in the English Premiership Rugby Cup. The host lost 28-26 to London Irish in their first round match. In that match, Northampton enjoyed a perfect 0-19 win in the first half. However, their poor play in the second half, coupled with poor defensive ability denied them of what could have been their first win this season. The host team now sits 3rd in Group Three of the English Premiership Cup table. We expect Northampton Saints to come into this match with a wn mentality.

Saracens will hope to extend their winning streak to four in five matches when they travel to Franklin’s Stadium in Northampton. With one match played in the English Premiership Rugby Cup, Saracens will look to build on their last weekend win over Leicester Tigers. The visitors will look to take advantage of a poor Northampton Saint who has only recorded just one win in their last five matches in all competitions.

Northampton Saints and Saracens have a long history together. Since their first match together in 2008, both teams have met over thirty different times. Taking a good look at their head to head results in the last ten matches, dating to 2018, Saracens have seven wins, while Northampton have three wins. While Saracens won the last match, we expect the same outcome in this match.
