THE PREDICTION
Saracens were ruthless in their 6-30 rout away at Northampton Saints last Sunday as they desperately try to keep within two wins of the runaway leaders Leicester. They have the trump card this weekend of playing before their title-rivals, although Leicester face Wasps on Sunday for a likely victory there. That makes a strong performance here all the more vital against a Gloucester side coming off a tough, tight 17-20 loss to Harlequins last Sunday. Sarries are unbeaten at home in the Premiership this season and purring right now whilst the visitors have struggled against the very top sides this season so far. The hosts can cover -10 in victory here.
