Last updated: 2 hours ago

In an exciting rugby showdown, Sale Sharks face Exeter Chiefs. While Sale are favorites on their home turf, their recent form, with three losses in five matches, leaves room for Exeter to shine. The Chiefs have been consistent with three wins in their last five games, suggesting they could cover the +8.5 handicap. Notable game points reveal Sale's past narrow defeats, while Exeter thrives post a weak previous season. Both teams face constraints with players absent due to international duties, influencing strategies and predictions.

Sale are favourites at home, but Exeter have been in good form. While I fancy the hosts to win, I feel the 8.5 handicap is steep, so I am backing the Chiefs in this one.

Head to Head


In their last meeting, Sale beat Exeter 30-26 away from home in May this year.

Sale Sharks Form


Sale Sharks have had a strange season thus far, winning two and losing three of their eight matches. Most of their games have, however, been quite close and could have gone either way.

Sale began their campaign with a 27-10 win over Gloucester at home before losing 28-16 at Bath. A 57-5 victory followed at home against Newcastle.

In round for, the Sharks came in for a rude awakening as Saracens humiliated them 65-14. In round five, Sale will feel they should have beaten Leicester away, but they came up just short, losing 36-25.

Exeter Chiefs Form


Exeter Chiefs have made a good start to the season after a disappointing campaign last time out. They are third on the table with just one defeat, a draw and three wins in their five games.

An opening day 33-33 draw at Northampton was followed by a 38-15 thrashing of Newcastle. Exeter then suffered their only defeat to date, going down 18-14 to Bristol away. The Chiefs bounced back with a stellar 38-0 win over Harlequins at home.

In their final match before the international break, Exeter comfortably beat Gloucester 39-12 on home soil.
