THE PREDICTION
Leicester Tigers are top of the Premiership after two matches with two bonus point victories over Exeter Chiefs and most recently away at Gloucester last Saturday by 26-33. They have already passed a few tests in victories over top sides and strong away performances but now they face a huge battle with visiting Saracens, who remain the favourites to win the league. The visitors were able to bask in their 9-26 thumping of Bristol on the opening weekend with a Round 2 bye due to the odd number of teams in this season’s Premiership and they will know the importance of winning this away game for their title rivals’ morale. There are more questions than answers ahead of what should be a fascinating match. Taking the hosts winners with a +2 head-start seems a necessary concession.
