THE PREDICTION
Scarlets have not played a competitive game since late November but the week previous they did beat Connacht away from home to show they have an upset in them. They will make the short trip down to Bath with some hope behind them but the hosts grabbed their first Premiership win of the new season at the third time of asking on Saturday and are definitely the favourites here. Some international players could be making their returns for both teams in a welcome shake-up but Bath should enjoy the experience of playing in front of their fans again to cover-10 at home here.
