Bath vs Sale Sharks Prediction: Both teams will focus on securing maximum points

Bath will take on Sale Sharks at the Recreation Ground in Bath. This match will be one of the week 6 Gallagher Premiership matchups. Let's look into the details of this game and provide betting options. 

Bath secured a hard-fought victory over Harlequins the previous weekend, an encounter that ended 24-26. Bath needed a solid second-half performance in that game to make it their fourth win this season out of five matches, thanks to a 3-12 win. In the meantime, Bath's lone defeat this season was against Bristol, a week three encounter that ended 26-36. Bath have secured victories over Northampton Saints, Leicester Tigers, and Gloucester this season. On the league's log, Bath sit second with 20 points, just one adrift of first-placed Saracens. 

Sale Sharks suffered their second defeat this season following their weekend loss to Northampton Saints. In that encounter, Sale Sharks had a very slow start, losing by 30 goal difference, while a 7-7 second-half draw could not turn the tables for them. In the meantime, the visiting team's first defeat this season was against Saracens, coming in a week 2 encounter away from home. While securing wins over Harlequins, Gloucester, and Newcastle Falcons, Sale Sharks sit 14th in the league's log, seven points adrift of first-placed Saracens. 

Bath have been very good this season but they have not been dominant. While Sale Sharks have had their best days, they have also struggled heavily in their defeats. This is a game of luck, as it could go either way. Bath will be dominant at home, especially considering Sale Sharks have lost each road match this season. I expect tables to turn in this game, as Sale Sharks are expected to secure maximum points, a game where we expect many goals.
