THE PREDICTION
Bath have only three bonus points to show for their work so far in the Premiership, with three defeats from three likely to go to four as they host title-contenders Saracens. The hosts were 8-15 up away at Bristol Bears two weeks ago but they ultimately fell to a 25-20 defeat to hand their rivals a first win instead. They have been within one, seven and five points in their defeats so far to look for positives but that seems unlikely against their visitors. Sarries beat Bristol away from home on their opening game of the season and they bounced back well from a close 13-12 defeats at Leicester Tigers two weeks ago with a strong 37-23 rout at home to Newcastle Falcons last Saturday. They were unlucky to lose to the Tigers and should fancy their chances at covering -7 on the road here.
