THE PREDICTION
Worcester Warriors have not played since winning the Premiership Rugby Cup last month in a thrilling contest against London Irish that puts a shine on an otherwise torrid season. Thankfully for the hosts relegation was scrapped for this season but they will still be keen to avoid finishing bottom of the pile and this could be an entertaining battle to avoid that title against second-from-bottom Bath. The visitors were bottom until recently, with a 27-24 victory at home to London Irish last month snapping a seven-match winless streak across all competitions. A first victory on the road in the Premiership would be a considerable shock, though, and backing the hosts to win outright seems sensible here.
