Bath vs Exeter Betting Tips - Bath too good at home for Chiefs in Premiership semi-final
Bath are strongly favored to continue their superb home record in the Rugby Premiership semi-final against Exeter Chiefs. Having won their last eight home matches and finishing second in the table, Bath's dominance is clear, with standout performances from players like Thomas du Toit. Exeter, while securing a top-four finish with a crucial win over Saracens, have struggled away from home. Both teams will miss key players due to injuries, but Bath's consistent form and recent home victories make them likely to cover the -8.5 handicap.
- Bath have won 8 consecutive home matches and finished second in the league.
- Exeter, third in the table, have struggled away but secured a semi-final spot with a big win over Saracens.
