Gloucester vs Saracens (19:45) BT Sport
Gloucester get their first home game in the campaign underway against current champions Saracens at Kingsholm on Friday night. Last time these met James Hook kicked a monster penalty to win it 24-23 in the final play of the match. Saracens come into this one fresh off the back off an impressive 41-3 win against Sale and welcome back a few of their World Cup stars. Gloucester come into this one off a high scoring win away to Newcastle. Should be tight a one at Kingsholm.
Prediction: Saracens by 5-7.
Sale Sharks vs Worcester Warriors (20:00)
Fresh of the back of a winning return to the Premiership, Worcester now travel to Sale in search of their 2nd win on the bounce. However they face a Sale side who are extremely good at home and have only once in 2015, with a 2 point defeat to Harlequins. Sale were well and truly beaten last week by Saracens and they will need no more motivation to put on a show for their home fans. Although the away side won won last week, can only see a Sale win at home.
Prediction: Sale by 10.
