THE PREDICTION

After some tighter defeats over March, rock-bottom Worcester Warriors have started to lose their way again and have conceded 47, 62 and 50 points over their last three Premiership defeats to Bath, Northampton and Harlequins respectively. Sale Sharks will be targeting this match for a bonus point victory as a result and arrive on a three-match winning streak in the league after a close 25-22 win over Gloucester last Saturday. Sale will have a confirmed target to reach here after finding out if Exeter or Bristol win on the day before but they can cover -11 in victory away from home here to put pressure on both teams above them.
