THE PREDICTION
Wasps were thrashed 43-13 away at Exeter Chiefs last Saturday and will be eager to see the back of this season as they continue to drift down the Premiership table. They have lost seven of their last eight matches across all competitions now with just one win over fellow strugglers Newcastle Falcons in that time and they host a Bath side on a three-match winning streak. The visitors reached the semi-finals of the Challenge Cup before sealing a tough 21-20 win over in-form Leicester Tigers last Sunday and that momentum should help them eventually overpower their hosts here. Take Bath to cover -3 on the road in what could be quite a tight encounter.
