Saracens Preview – Can Sarries turn the tables on Exeter?
Saracens will be looking to make the most of home advantage in this blockbuster fixture.
This is one of the highlights of the season and it’s a big one in the context of the top four spots.
Saracens ended the last round of league action in second place with a W14 D1 L5 record.
They are comfortably heading to the playoffs.
But victory over their rivals Exeter Chiefs on Sunday could see them really hamper the chances of the Chiefs joining them in the Premiership play-offs.
In the match outright for Sunday’s match, Saracens are the 1/3 odds-on favourites* (odds recorded 18:20 GMT on April 21st, 2022 at Bet365).
Saracens do have some positive form to bring to the table in this contest.
They are currently on a four-match winning streak in Premiership Rugby.
Sarries get back to league action having won their last three matches in all competitions.
They have named a strong line-up for Sunday’s clash, not unexpectedly.
Saracens have won their last four Premiership Rugby home fixtures.
That run included wins over current league leaders Leicester Tigers and ringing champions Harlequins.
Sarries have also won their last two at the StoneX against Exeter.
The Saracens -9 handicap line for Premiership Rugby betting is at 10/11* (odds recorded 18:20 GMT on April 21st, 2022 at Bet365).
The margin on the scoreboard is probably not going to be a big one at least that is what the trends suggest.
Four of the last five home wins by Saracens in the league have been by fewer than 10 points.
Exeter Chiefs Preview – Chiefs need a big spark
The Exeter Chiefs are probably going to be feeling a ton of pressure going to the StoneX on Sunday.
They could have dropped out of the top four by the time this match kicks off.
On the flip side of that, if they get over this hurdle that will be a big step towards securing a top-four finish.
Exeter did win their last Premiership Rugby match, thumping bottom-side Bath at Sandy Park.
But that is their only win in their last three in the top flight (L2).
So the form has deserted them a little.
They had been battling Munster over two legs in the European Challenge Cup the last two weekends and were dumped out of the competition by the Irish province.
Home and away combined in all companions, Exeter are W3 L3 in their last six.
In the match outright for Sunday’s Premiership Rugby match, the Chiefs are a quote of 11/4 to land the win* (odds recorded 18:20 GMT on April 21st, 2022 at Bet365).
Extending their form out longer they have won five of their last seven in the top flight.

But the away form of the Exeter Chiefs recently in the Premiership doesn’t read too hot.
It has been a W2 L3 record by the Chiefs in their last five on the road.
That slump hit after they had won four road games on the road.
The last nine away matches that Exeter have played have all been settled by a margin of no more than 10 points.
Exeter were toppled by Worcester Warriors in their last away games, losing by four points at Sixways in a big upset.
Sunday’s match is a lot tougher than that.
