Bath Form
Bath topped the Rugby premiership table comfortably this season, winning 14 of their 18 games. They ended on 72 points, 11 clear of second place.
Not only are Bath favourites to claim the Premiership, but they also have massive confidence after winning the European Challenge Cup a few weeks ago. They beat Lyon 37-12 in Cardiff in the final.
What may be slightly concerning is that two of Bath’s four Premiership defeats came in their last three matches. They suffered a 36-14 loss to Bristol on 10 May before beating the Leicester Tigers. Last weekend, Bath lost again, this time going down 36-26 to Saracens.
Bath Injuries & Team News
Bath have been resting players in the weeks leading up to the playoffs with the Challenge Cup final also in mind. This weekend, they will be at full strength once again with no new reports on injuries.

At home, the Bears are a tough side to beat but their away from will be of slight concern. They have lost their last six on the road in all competitions.
Last weekend, Bristol beat Harlequins 52-26 at home after losing to Sale the week before. They asl beat Bath on home soil early in May.
