01/12 Daily Predictions Gallagher Premiership 2024 Sale Sharks vs Leicester Tigers overview + 6 weekend bets

Sale Sharks vs Leicester Tigers

The Sale Sharks resume their Gallagher Premiership campaign when they welcome the Leicester Tigers to the Salford Community Stadium. The home side will be looking for an improvement on their performances so far in the season as they sit in 8^th place with just 14 points. They are yet to win on the road but they have a 100% at home with three wins from three. The Tigers on the other hand are flying high in 2^nd spot with 24 points with five wins and a loss. They are unbeaten on the road so at the end of this match, one of these teams are going to lose one of their unbeaten records.

TIP: Both teams have wasted no time in selecting their international stars for this encounter despite some of them having a strenuous program on Test matches. The obvious highlight in this match will be Springbok Handre Pollard up against England George Ford in the flyhalf battle. They had contrasting times with their respective national teams as Pollard was on the winning side in all his teams matches while England lost all the matches that Ford featured in. The bookies have Sale as favorites but I am backing Leicester for the upset win. The best odds on this bet are as follows: Tictacbets 2.38, Soccershop 2.38 and Bettabets 2.38

PREDICTION

The battle between the tens will be interesting as both love the kicking game but Ford will need to be wise with his up and unders as Freddie Steward is the best in the game aerially. Leicester is famous for their forwards prowess but they will be up against the most physically strong pack in the game. Both teams look very evenly matched up front but the Tigers seem to have more game breakers in their backline. Their powerhouse centre pairing of Wallabies Izaia Perese and Solomone Kata always get them over the advantage line and this could be the deciding factor in the end. I am predicting a 4-point win for the Tigers.

Sports crazy fan that follows all major sport but the game with the oval ball is my real passion. Was an age level rugby coach and a huge supporter of the Springboks and diehard Liverpool man. I’m an experienced punter and sports writer whose predictions/tips are sure to stir up the emotions. I love the occasional wager on the underdog.
