EVENT ENDED!
  • Northampton continue to struggle hard and are playing away - Sale Sharks -8 Handicap @ — 10/11 William Hill
  • The home team has been slowly building form and momentum - Sharks/Sharks - Half Time/Full Time @ — 8/13 Ladbrokes

Both Sale and Northampton have disappointed so far and their fans would have been expecting to see them higher up the table. That is especially the case for fans of the Sale Sharks, they have just won two games out of eight and that is something they must improve on. Both teams will want to improve their league positions ahead of the move into 2018, and that means they have to play well over the next few weeks. That should give us a good game between these two clubs this weekend. Let's see our betting tips for rugby.

Sale Sharks vs Northampton Saints Preview

Right now Sale are down in 10th with just two wins to their name and they will be wanting to improve on that in the coming games. They’ve lost their last three games against Leicester, Exeter and Gloucester but they haven’t been disgraced in those, which is a small positive for them. Those three teams are all in the top five right now, and it could have been worse for Sale had they been easily beaten by those clubs.

Northampton are in a similar position to Sale and their fans will probably be expecting to see a little more in the coming games. They are in 8th position, with four wins and four losses from their opening games. They have lost their last three games against Worcester, Gloucester and Wasps, with the loss against Worcester being especially disappointing. Before those three losses they had a home win against Harlequins, and that is the sort of form Northampton will want to bounce back towards over the coming games.

Sale Sharks vs Northampton Saints Prediction

Sale will go into this game knowing they can win if they perform well, something they haven’t really thought in their last three games, which have come against good opposition. That and their home crowd is what they hope will see them over the line against Northampton. The visitors have been poor recently, and although they should be doing better, there are no signs of that right now.

The way teams have played recently suggests Sale will win the game, and if they can discover improved form then they could end up winning this game comfortably on Saturday. Let's check the live rugby odds and more.

Sale Sharks vs Northampton Saints Betting Tips

The value in this game lies in the handicap lines that have been created and a handicap line of Sale -8 with William Hill is the best handicap line available. They have easier opposition on November 25th, and they have their home fans behind them, both those factors can lead them to a comfortable win over Northampton who continue to struggle. Sale look clear favourites to win the game outright, but the price on them to do so is very short. They look capable of covering the handicap line of 8, so the bet is for Sale -8 on the handicap, which is a great pick.

Even thole Sale Sharks lost their three matches, they played against the top teams in the competition, while Northampton is also in the same boat. Our reasoning here is that Sharks boast a pool of great talent and they haven't been disgraced in their last matches. Plus, their form seemed to improve game after game. Going for the Half Time/Full Time market is a choice of trust in one of the teams that is aiming really high and plays at home.
