Sharks vs Exeter Chiefs Predictions


The Sharks have been very good at home this season while Exeter have been woeful both at home and away. I am backing the Sharks to take this game by more than 15 points.

  • Sharks have won their last 3 matches.
  • Sharks are unbeaten at home this season.
  • Sharks won the Challenge Cup last season.
  • Exeter Chiefs have all 7 Premiership matches this season.

Head to Head


These sides have not met before.

Sharks Form


The Sharks qualified for the Champions Cup by winning the Challenge Cup last season, not through league position. Despite a very poor URC performance, the Durban-based outfit turned it on in Europe and will hope to do it at a level up once again.

This season the Sharks have fared better in the URC as well. They have been quite inconsistent in terms of performance, particularly when considering the quality at their disposal, but they are on a three-match winning streak.

Since their loss at Benetton in October, the Sharks have beaten Glasgow 28-24, Munster 41-24 and the Stormers 21-15 at home.

Sharks Injuries & Team News


The Sharks will want to put out a statement on home soil this weekend. Expect a strong side.

Exeter Chiefs Form


Exeter Chiefs have endured a torrid season in the Premiership and are windless after seven matches. Considering their title challenges in recent years, this has come as a surprise to many Chiefs supporters.

Last weekend, Exeter were far better though, going down 19-15 at Bath, who are currently top of the Premiership table. That will give them some confidence ahead of their trip to Durban.

Exeter Chiefs Injuries & Team News


The Chiefs Premiership form may force them to focus on the league rather than Europe. I suspect key players will miss this fixture.

Verdict

The Sharks are backed to cover the -14 handicap against Exeter Chiefs in Durban.
