Exeter Preview – The Chiefs set to extend their winning streak
Exeter have won their last three league games after securing a 47-31 home win over Leicester Tigers last weekend.
Their last two league victories have been on home soil.
The away record that the Chiefs have earned this season is an impressive W5 L2, as to be expected.
The two defeats away from home happened at Sale and a surprising one against the struggling Wasps.
But they are back in form at the moment with this winning streak, but they are still six points behind league leaders Bristol Bears.
Exeter To Win Rugby Betting Odds: 2/9* (odds recorded 21:17 GMT, March 25th, 2021)
Given that the Chiefs are such strong favourites to pick up the victory on Friday night, other markets than the outright have to be explored.
They have averaged around 24 points per league fixture this season.
Considering that their Friday night opponents Gloucester have conceded around an average of 27 then the door should be wide open for Exeter.
Of the five away wins that Exeter have earned this season, three of them have now been by a margin of at least 22 points.
The other two were tight by no more than a six-point margin.
Given that the reigning champions have scored more than 35 points in two of their last three fixtures, we don’t see them having an issue running up the points against Gloucester’s weak defence.
