Match 1: Leicester Tigers vs Gloucester

Leicester Tigers find themselves in the unusual position of last on the latest log after two matches.

Gloucester has momentum on their side with two wins from two matches, giving coach Johann Ackermann a dream start to the season.

Be with Gloucester to nail more misery on Leicester.

Match 2: Saracens vs London Irish

Both teams have won one and lost one but playing at home will make Saracens hard to beat.

London Irish come off a 7-41 thrashing by Sale Sharks and they are unlikely to regroup in a week and win on the road.

Match 3: London Wasps vs Bath Wasps are still chasing their first victory in their third time of asking, while Bath is already on the board with a single win from two games.

It could be a close match with Wasps making things difficult for the visitors.

Both teams must improve. Neither will be excited with the way their seasons have started and both teams are good enough to compete towards the top of the log. This becomes a tricky match to predict.

Match 4: Benetton vs Edinburgh Edinburgh are the stronger team.

Benetton won their last match, edging out the Kings by 6 points.

Edinburgh on the other hand look like a team who can win the Pro 14. Be with the away side.

Match 5: Cardiff Blues vs Munster

Munster should be fancied to win, even if playing away.

Cardiff Blues could only manage one victory from four matches so far and therefore it will come as a major surprise if they take the points.
