THE PREDICTION
Wasps made a statement when they beat Sale Sharks on Sunday 23-26 away from home having lost to Newcastle Falcons and Gloucester before their European break. Now on a three-match winning streak they look to have overcome some early wobbles and they will be eager for a quick rematch here of last season’s Premiership final. They host an Exeter Chiefs side who have battled past covid-19 in recent weeks to beat Gloucester in an exciting 28-20 at home on Saturday and they remain unbeaten in the Premiership at least, having lost by default in Europe. Just six points between them saw Exeter lift the 2019/20 Premiership trophy in November and the away side to cover -6 here too looks a reasonable option.
