Exeter Chiefs vs Sale Sharks Prediction: Sharks will get within the line

In the quarterfinal round of the Premiership Rugby Cup, Exeter Chiefs will play Sale Sharks at Sandy Park. The two teams will head into this game with confidence as they hope to make it to the next round. Which team qualifies? 

Exeter Chiefs

Exeter Chiefs will hope things go their way in the Premiership Cup as they hope to make it to the semis. In their last encounter in this Premiership Cup, this team played Gloucester and lost. In a 14-22 encounter, Exeter Chiefs scored seven goals in each half, while conceding 12 and 10 goals in each half, respectively. In the meantime, prior encounters to that defeat saw this team pull off wins against Cornish Pirates, Hartpury University, and Saracens. Ahead of this game, Exeter Chiefs have lost their last two matches in this fixture. 

Sale Sharks

Sale Sharks will hope for a win in this game despite coming in as the underdog. In their last meeting against Exeter Chiefs, this team pulled off a 28-10 win. In the meantime, this team's last encounter in this Premiership Cup was against Newcastle Falcons, and they needed a two-goal margin to win in a 19-17 encounter. In the meantime, Sale Sharks have won three times in their last five matches, two against Caldy and RC Toulonnais. In that run, they struggled against Bath and Doncaster, losing 23-32 and 19-20.

Sale Sharks are underdogs but I do not see them being weak as a team. While Exeter Chiefs are at home, I expect them to be at their best, show competitiveness and show character. Yet, I feel these two teams will go head to head, show character and display quality performance. With Sale Sharks having shown quality in this fixture in the past, I will back them to close the odds, while I expect many goals.
