As with last weekend, Bath take on London Wasps in the European Champions’ Cup. Unlike last week, though, Bath are at home and will be hoping that this will help see them overcome Wasps for a second week in a row.
Bath narrowly beat Wasps last week thanks to a superb stoppage time kick from George Ford and so Wasps will be out for revenge this weekend.
Using last weekend’s result, Bath will be hoping to beat Wasps yet again to see them put some serious ground between them and the rest of their European group. A third consecutive win in the group would do wonders for their hopes of progressing to the next round of the competition and would hopefully knock some confidence into them so that they can get their domestic season up and running again.
This game could be huge for Wasps, though, as a second defeat in as many weeks would see them in very poor form ahead of their Aviva Premiership clash with Saracens and so they will be looking to pick themselves up from last weekend’s disappointment in order to boost their confidence.
Overall, I expect another tight game, similar to last weekend. I also expect Bath to win again, purely down to their home advantage and the support it provides.
Score Prediction: 22-18 to Bath.
