Sale Sharks vs Gloucester Prediction: Sharks to bounce back to winning ways

Sale Sharks and Gloucester will meet at AJ Bell Stadium in this round 4 English Premiership Rugby opener. Both sides suffered their first-season defeat last weekend and will hope for a better outcome here. However, which side do you think will take maximum points?

In their most recent match, which took place away from home against Exeter Chiefs and had a startling final score of 43-0, Sale Sharks were completely dominated by Exeter Chiefs. During the match, the Sale Sharks allowed their opponent to score 29 points while they themselves failed to score a single point. Despite having a much better performance in defense in the second half, their offense still appeared to be very weak, as they failed to score a point while again giving up 14 points. The Sale Sharks will now go into this encounter looking to narrow the gap between themselves and the top spots, so they will be hoping for a better outcome.

The match between Gloucester and Saracens that took place at home last weekend finished with a score of 3-24. However, the most frustrating aspect of that encounter was the fact that Gloucester, the favorites, scored the first points of the match thanks to a penalty goal scored by Barton. Gloucester was also the team that scored the first point of the contest. Now that they are about to compete in this game, Gloucester has already racked up as many as 9 points in the first three matches of the season. The visitors are now in fifth place, having scored 50 points while allowing 66 to be scored against them.

The level of play that each team brings to this match indicates that it will be a close contest between the two of them. Sale Sharks have won three consecutive matches against Gloucester, whereas Gloucester have only won one of their most recent matches against Sale Sharks. As a result, in a game that I am certain will have a great deal of scoring, I will be wagering my money on the Sale Sharks to come out on top.
