In 2021, Exeter finished the season as the seventh-best team in the English Premiership. But they did well to end their season with a 47-38 win over Harlequins, who did not need to win that game. Last season, though, they lost many points because their form was consistently inconsistent. On Saturday, they will play at home and hope their fans' support will help them win. Before this match, Exeter had won two of their last five games and lost three. We hope to see a team with a lot of fighting spirit that works hard to win.
Leicester Tigers - Confident to defend their title.
Last season, the Leicester Tigers scored 94 points, six more than Saracens, sitting second. Later, though, they beat the Saracens in a close 15-12 match to win the playoffs final. This season, the Tigers will be very focused on defending their title. The Tigers played Leinster five times from the end of last season until the playoffs. In four of those games, the Tigers won. We hope they will do well in this match and win significantly with how much they have improved.
Expert Betting Tips
The English Premiership Rugby team that won last year will have to work hard to get their first win and keep their title. But it's probably not going to be easy for the Tigers to win this match. We still think the home team will be challenging, even though they have won a lot. In their last five games against each other, the Tigers had two wins from last season, while Exeter had three straight wins.
