THE PREDICTION
Worcester were well-beaten by Bristol Bears last Saturday to sit in 10th place of the Premiership after two matches played and they should be gearing up for another tough season towards the bottom-half of the standings. They host a Bath side in the doldrums after back-to-back defeats and desperate to get their first win of the new season. With neither side scoring particularly highly so far this could be rather tight match that neither wants to lose but visiting Bath can edge past Worcester in a match that is likely to fall short of 40 points.
