Leicester Tigers Preview – Tigers can carry on
It has been a perfect season for Leicester Tigers in Premiership Rugby so far as they are setting the standard.
It has been seven wins from seven by them so far.
So they are steaming along and they claimed a tremendous victory last weekend.
They visited the in-form Northampton Saints who are currently sitting fourth in the Premiership.

In the last four rounds of Premiership Rugby action, Leicester have played one home game.
That ended in a 19-11 victory over Sale Sharks.
Leicester have won six of their last seven Premiership fixtures on home turf at Welford Road.
The only slip that they had in that sequence was against Bristol at the end of last season.
It’s been a perfect three from three for them at the venue for this campaign.
Notably, two of Leicester’s home wins have been against Saracens and Exeter.
Given the form that they have shown, they shouldn’t have too much trouble getting past Bath on Friday.
The Leicester Tigers -18 handicap is at 10/11* (odds recorded 17:41 GMT on November 3rd, 2021)
Bath Preview – Bath still seeking first win
This is a top versus bottom clash in Premiership Rugby for Friday night’s betting.
Bath are bottom of the pile not having collected a victory. It’s been six losses from six games.

This looks like being the last fixture that they need right now and the away win for Bath is at a quote of 7/1* (odds recorded 17:41 GMT on November 3rd, 2021).
In their last fixture, Bath were toppled at home by Wasps, a team who have been struggling for returns this season.

Bath in contrast were totally smashed by Sarries, conceding more than 70 points against them in a harrowing defeat.
Bath have conceded at least 25 points each of their last four Premiership matches.
It looks like a really big ask for them to turn the form tables around.
