Northampton Saints are set to face a struggling Bulls team at home, where they have won three out of their last four matches. Despite a recent home defeat to Newcastle, the Saints are deemed favorites due to their previous performances against Leicester, Saracens, and Harlequins. Meanwhile, the Bulls have been out of form, particularly in away games, adding pressure on them for this face-off. With key injuries and squad changes impacting both sides, the recommendation is for Northampton to cover a -15.5 handicap over the Bulls.

Bulls have made a slow start to the season, losing three of their first four matches. They are a long way off their best form.
