Exeter Chiefs Preview – Can Chiefs stop the rot?
A place in the top four of this season’s Premiership Rugby is looking less and less likely for the Chiefs.
They have slumped to a three-match losing streak in the top flight.
That was after they were defeated at Sandy Park last weekend by Wasps.
It was only a one-point margin loss for Exeter, but it was a bigger hit on their confidence levels.
Looking back at a wider picture, Exeter are W1 L4 in their last five fixtures in all competitions.
They are also not at their strongest right now because of the internationals.
In the match outright for Saturday’s match, Exeter are narrow 8/11 odds-on favourites* (odds recorded 21:52 GMT on February 9th 2022 at Bet365).
Can the Chiefs stem the tide of results going against them?
The last time that Exeter lost four matches in a row was in November 2016.
The most troubling for them however has to be their overall poor return at Sandy Park.
They have now lost four of their seven home league games this season.
One positive for the Chiefs is that they have only lost one of their last five against Gloucester and that was at Kingsholm.
Exeter have only suffered one home loss against the Cherry & Whites since 2015.
It’s a current streak of W5 D1 that Exeter are riding in home matches against Gloucester Rugby in the Premiership.
This doesn’t look like an easy assignment for them on Saturday, however.
Gloucester Preview – In-form Cherry & Whites to raid Sandy Park?
There could be a chance on the weekend for Gloucester to get a rare win at Sandy Park.
They are the form team of the Premiership at the moment, with 24 points collected from their last six fixtures.
Gloucester are running in some excellent form.
The only loss in their last six matches in Premiership Rugby was a tight three-point loss to reigning champions Harlequins in January.
In the match outright for Saturday’s Premiership Rugby odds, Gloucester are at even money* (odds recorded 21:52 GMT on February 9th 2022 at Bet365).
In all competitions, the Cherry & White have won six of the last eight (L2).
They have, perhaps most impressively, won their last four away matches in the league.
Gloucester are undefeated in their last six road games in the Premiership, which is their best ever streak of away form in their competition history.

In this four-match winning streak on the road, Gloucester took one giant, notable win.
That was a 25-24 victory over current second-placed team Saracens.
Their last two league wins have been far more convincing, beating Newcastle and London Irish by a margin of at least 10 points.
A Gloucester -5 handicap for Saturday is a quote of 2/1* (odds recorded 21:52 GMT on February 9th 2022 at Bet365).
It’s interesting, as they look more together, the more confident of the two teams at the moment.
