THE PREDICTION

While there is nothing but pride to play for relegated Saracens, Bath need a win to help them achieve a top four finish. They have won their last four matches to move into a strong position to seal a top four spot but now they face a dangerous Saracens side. Both teams see changes made but are relatively strong and Saracens may relish the role of spoiler. Their Champions Cup loss may just dampen their motivation however and Bath are tipped to edge what should be a close game.
