Saracens vs Sale Sharks Predictions

Twickenham hosts the final as Saracens take on Sale Sharks. Saracens have been the best side in the league whilst Sale have been the second-best side so this is shaping up to be a cracker. Saracens will back themselves here but know that Sale will be breathing down their neck throughout the match.

Saracens Form and News

Sarries qualified in first place on the table and coasted through their semi-final. They have won sixteen of their twenty-one matches in the Premiership this season.

Results of late include a 38-29 away loss at Northampton Saints and a 45-21 home win over London Irish. A weakened match day squad would then lose 61-29 at Bath in the next match.

Their last match was a 38-15 semi-final win over Northampton Saints. A brilliant first set up the win as Saracens flexed their muscle and dominated the match from start to finish. The Londoners would cross the try line five times on their way to claiming a dominant win.

Saracens will release their team news at a later stage but we can expect a big change in the squad with the stars returning.

Sale Sharks Form and News

The Sharks were not too far behind Sarries as they finished in second place and have won a total of fifteen matches from their twenty-one matches enroute to the final.

A 36-20 away win at Bristol was followed by a 25-22 away win at Gloucester. The Sharks would then beat Newcastle Falcons 54-12 at home subsequently.

The last result was a 21-13 home win over Leicester Tigers in the semi-finals. A tight match was expected as both sides duked it out. The Sharks capitalised on ill-discipline and had just a little bit more quality on display as their two tries was enough to get them over the line.

We await team news but expect the same squad to be selected as the semi-final.
