Leicester Tigers vs Sale Sharks Predictions
Leicester are favouirtes heading into this clash after beating Sale by 10 points at home just a few weeks ago. However, the Sharks will come out firing, so this could be very tight. I’m backing the hosts to cover the -4.5 handicap.

Head to Head
During the regular season, both teams won their home game. In December 2024, Sale beat the Tigers 39-25 at home. Just a few weeks ago, Leicester came out on top at home, winning the game 44-34.
Leicester Tigers Form
Leicester Tigers enjoyed a strong season in the Premiership, finishing second, 11 points off the top. With 11 wins in 18 games, there was some inconsistency, but they also managed a draw along the way.
The Tigers have won four of their last five matches in the Premiership, so confidence will be relatively high. Their only defeat in that run came against the table topping Bath away from home.
Last week, Leicester thrashed Newcastle 42-20 on home soil to secure second place ahead of their opponents, Sale Sharks. On 9 May, Leicester defeated Sale 44-34 at home.
Leicester Tigers Injuries & Team News
Leicester cruised to victory over Newcastle last weekend and will very likely make a few changes for Saturday’s semi-final.
Sale Sharks Form
Sale were very strong at the end of the season in the Premiership, losing just one of their final five games. That defeat came away to the Tigers by 10 points, something they will have to turnaround this weekend.
Sale did, however beat Harlequins and Exeter away from home, so they do have some form on the road. The Sharks defeated Saracens 25-7 and Bristol 41-27 on home soil in that run as well.
Sale Sharks Injuries & Team News
Sale are expected to make a few changes from their win last weekend, but it will largely be the same side.
Verdict
I am backing Leicester Tigers to win by more than 4.5 points.
