THE PREDICTION
The fight for the top four spots is incredibly tight coming into this final round of matches and Wasps are somewhat fortuitous by the fact that Exeter have nothing to play for and are fielding an extremely youthful side. They are resting many of their key players and a number of players expected to make their debuts. On the other hand, Wasps have named a strong line-up for this game and they will be motivated to win and claim a bonus point. They are heavily favoured here and should win by 20 points or more.
