Prediction :

 

Gloucester -13.5

 

Gloucester will play host to the Northampton Saints at Kingsholm Stadium in the final round of the Gallagher Premiership this weekend. The Cherry and Whites are fifth in the standings, while Saints are eighth. Let’s get into the match prediction.

Gloucester enter the final round still in the Playoff picture but with their fate out of their own hands and needing a bonus-point victory to give themselves the best possible chance. 

The Cherry and Whites made light work of minnows Newcastle Falcons on the road last week, beating the basement club 26-12, marking their ninth win of he league campaign. 

The hosts have won their last six home games in the Premiership and are unbeaten in their last eight at Kingsholm Stadium across all competitions. 

Meanwhile, after winning the Premiership last year, the Northampton Saints have endured a major fall from grace this season as they enter the final round out of Playoff contention.

It will be a silverware-less season for Saints, as they were also beaten in the Champions Cup final by the star-studded Bordeaux-Begles last week, which would have taken plenty out of them.

Kingsholm is a tough place for any team to go to this season, and Saints have not been good on the road, having lost seven of their eight league games to date.

Our Gloucester Rugby vs Northampton Saints Prediction

After losing to Bordeaux in the Champions Cup final and with nothing to play for in the Premiership, the Northampton Saints are likely to rotate this weekend and see out the season with no further casualties.

For Gloucester, they have to win this match well and keep one eye on their neighbours, Bristol, who are two points ahead in the standings. Kingsholm has been a fortress of late, and we fancy the hosts to get the result in this one. Our Gloucester vs Northampton Saints prediction is Gloucester -13.5.
