Northampton Saints vs. London Wasps: Both Equally Matched Sides Taking on Each Other in Northampton

Be it Rugby or any sports; the home side has always had the benefit of playing at home and dominating the visitors. With Premiership Rugby fixtures getting more exciting, Saints would be taking Wasps in their home game on Sunday. If you are following these two teams in the circuit, you would know how unpredictable these two have been throughout the season. With 8 wins in 17 games, Northampton Saints are standing at the 8th spot in the points table. On the other hand, it’s London Wasps also with 8 wins. It would be a terrific encounter as both teams would be trying to mark their 9th win and gear up for the final proceedings, though qualifying to the next stage seems tough for these two sides.

In the ongoing Premiership Rugby Championship, Northampton Saints haven’t been so prolific or consistent as before. In their 17 games, they were defeated 9 times, meaning they might achieve even a 50% win percentage at the end of the season. Talking about their recent form, the Saints won against Worcester Warriors (10-16), which was an exciting and unexpected win. Before this unpredicted win, Northampton lost to Saracens (21-27), Exeter Chiefs (57-7), and Bristol (14-20). The stats clearly define how unpredictable and inconsistent Northampton has been in the game. For the upcoming game, Northampton Saints would be gaining the confidence from their last win against Wasps which came in 2022. Northampton would be looking to play with positivity and win this encounter.

Though London Wasps is sitting at the 9th spot in the points table, they have shown some great performances over the past few months or so. With three back-to-back wins in the league, London Wasps would defiantly be the favorites of winning their upcoming clash against the Northampton Saints. Their latest significant win came against Gloucester (39-22) and London Irish (26-36). Moreover, the Wasps also managed to defeat Saracens (60-10) by a margin of 50, which was simply something out of this world. London Wasps is certainly looking to play with positive intent and win their upcoming games.
