Wasps Preview – Wasps on a roll at the moment
Wasps collected an excellent and expected win over Worcester last weekend, a 32-17 success.
That’s now a five-match winning streak in the Premiership from them, but in none of those, they managed to pick up a bonus point.
At the Ricoh Arena, Wasps are on a three-match winning streak at the moment, their best run of form there since the 2017/2018 season.
With their fantastic momentum at the moment, Wasps are 1/7 odds-on in the match outright for this fixture* (odds taken 19:53 GMT Monday 24th August).
There’s obviously no value there so we have to go looking around the stats to try and find some value for Wasps v Sale rugby betting.
Interestingly, Wasps have won only one of their last four matches in the Premiership against Sale.
Earlier this season when they met, Wasps fell 28-18 on the road to the Sharks.
It is a three-match losing streak that Wasps are on against Sale at the moment as well.
But their form is there at the moment to potentially see them snap that.
Wasps have taken out Worcester, Gloucester and Saracens in their last three home league fixtures.
In each of those they posted at least 30 points in scoring their victory.
A Wasps -12 handicap is at 10/11 odds* (odds taken 19:53 GMT Monday 24th August).
They have covered that line in two of their last three home league fixtures.
Sale Preview – Can the Sharks bounce back
The restart to the season has not gone well for Sale. They are desperately in need of momentum.
It has been back to back losses against Harlequins and Exeter, which has really dented their top-four hopes.
Can they get back on track on Tuesday night? A four-point win would lift them two points clear of Wasps.
Sale have been one of the better defensive sides in the Premiership this season.
Only current league leaders Exeter have conceded fewer points than the Sharks have done and no team has conceded fewer tries against them than they have done.
So this is going to be a very interesting fixture, especially with their winning streak over Wasps.
