Saracens posted their fourth straight Premiership Rugby victory last weekend as they scrapped out a win on the road.

It’s been great form from them recently and on Saturday will face a London Irish side who have claimed just one victory all season.

Saracens Preview – Sarries look for fifth straight win
Saracens continued in their winning ways last weekend, coming through a big challenge.
They were away at reigning Premiership champions Harlequins and Sarries came up with a 29-22 success.
That’s four straight league wins in Premiership Rugby for Saracens this season.
That has left them on a superb W5 L1 record for the campaign.
In the match outright for Saturday’s rugby betting, Saracens are 1/8 odds-on for the victory* (odds recorded 21:12 GMT on November 4th, 2021).
Given the form that they are in, they will be expected to dominate proceedings at the StoneX Stadium on Saturday.
They have won their two home games there this season, which were against Newcastle Falcons and Wasps.
Saracens recorded 37+ points in each of those victories.
They have put at least 29 points on the scoreboard in each of their last four Premiership fixtures.
Saracens weren’t in last season’s Premiership and so this will be their first meeting with the Irish since August last year.
Saracens have won their last nine Premiership Rugby fixtures against London Irish, so that’s a huge head to head.
The last time Saracens hosted the Exiles, Sarries had to dig deep to claim the win by just a three-point margin.
But four of their last five victories over London Irish have been secured by at least 10 points.
A Saracens -14 handicap is at a quote of 10/11 for Saturday’s clash* (odds recorded 21:12 GMT on November 4th, 2021).
London Irish Preview – Can the Exiles pull of a shock win?
Given that the Autumn Internationals are currently happening, that means Saracens are not at full strength.
So the hosts have to shuffle their pack.
Will that give the London Irish a chance to get into his one?
It has been a return of W1 D2 L4 from the Exiles this season in Premiership Rugby.
Even though the results have not quite gone their way, they have been a competitive team.
The Exiles have been scoring well and at the end of last weekend, only two teams in the division had scored more tries than then.
In the match outright, the size of the task ahead on Saturday is summed up as London Irish are 5/1 for the victory* (odds recorded 21:12 GMT on November 4th, 2021).
The one league win that London Irish have pulled out of the hat this season, was away from home at Exeter.
They were outright underdogs for that fixture.
Last weekend they were back on home soil in Brentford and suffered a loss against Bristol Bears in a high scoring match.

London Irish’s scoring form can’t be ignored as they continue to put points on the board pretty well.
They have managed 25+ points in each of their last three matches, scoring exactly 33 in their last two.
But wins for London Irish are a rare thing in Premiership Rugby.
This season’s success at Exeter is their only league win in their last thirteen top-flight fixtures.
But again, while they are scoring well, the London Irish +14 handicap does pique some interest at 10/11* (odds recorded 21:12 GMT on November 4th, 2021).
Saracens vs London Irish Betting Advice
Saracens do have a big head to head form running against London Irish, beating them in each of the last seven meetings.
So the home win certainly does take preference here. Sarries have been explosive on the scoreboard at times this season.
But it is the London Irish +14 handicap that gets the nod for Premiership rugby betting* (odds recorded 21:12 GMT on November 4th, 2021).
