Bath vs Saracens Prediction: I expect a competitive contest in this fixture

The Recreation Ground will host the Gallagher Premiership Rugby encounter between Bath and Saracens. Both teams are coming off an impressive performance and will hope for a win. How will this game unfold? Below, I will preview this game and make betting opportunities available. 

Bath

Bath kept their cool against Newcastle Falcons the previous time out and will hope they find luck in this one. In that encounter, Bath pulled off a 15-40 win, with a dominant play in the second half, which saw them win 0-19. 

However, prior encounters to that win saw this team take on Benetton and Stade Rochelais in the European Champions Cup, and they lost. In the meantime, Bath have not lost any of their last five league matches, with their most recent defeats coming against second-placed Bristol in round three. In that run, this team defeated Harlequins, Bath, Ampthill, Bristol, Bedford and Exeter Chiefs. In their last home matches, Bath had only two defeats since May.

This season, Bath have 34 points accumulated from eight matches. Seated third in the standings with the same points as Bristol, Bath have scored 264 goals while conceding 165. 

Saracens

Saracens are coming off a league win over Northampton Saints, which ended 39-24. In that encounter, Saracens started with a dominant play, which saw them lead 24-0 in the first half. However, despite struggling in the second half, they still scored 15 goals while conceding 24. 

In the meantime, Saracens have won their last three matches, defeating Stade Francais Paris and Bulls, ending 17-28 and 27-5. In fact, Saracens have lost only once in their last six matches, coming against Newcastle Falcons in week seven of the season. In that run, they defeated London Scottish, Harlequins, Bulls and Stade Francais Paris. 

With 29 points from eight matches, Saracens are seated third in the standings. 

Head-Head Statistics

Saracens won three of the last five games of this fixture. However, the other game games ended in 16-25 and 61-29 wins for Bath. In four of their last matches, we witnessed a lot of offensive games. 

Expert Betting Tips

Saracens have been very impressive in recent games, and I expect a similar outcome here. While Bath are at home, I expect them to be at their best as they continue in their fight for a league win. However, I feel this is a game of two decent sides with high hopes and confidence, and I expect a lot from them. With the strong offensive game, I am confident this game will end with many goals. However, with Saracens playing so well, I also expect them to win this game, as they have the players needed and are doing so well despite Bath's recent dominant plays.
