Sale Sharks lost their last game against Saracens, and their hopes of extending their winning run to two straight games died. They showed unsatisfactory performance in their previous game, losing both halves, but mostly due to concerns about the points they scored; they lost 22-14 in the first half, managing only 14 points. The second half was terrible, as they failed to get a point and conceded 43 goals. The Sale Sharks have won three of their last five games. They won against Bristol, Gloucester, and Newcastle Red Bulls. Moreover, in all the games they have won, the highest point they conceded was 15, and the lowest point they conceded was 5.

Leicester Tigers vs Sale Sharks Match Prediction
From what I can see, this game will favor the home team. They have won their last two head-to-head games over the Sale Sharks. Not only that, they have been better than the Sale Sharks in their last three games, with two wins compared to the Sale Sharks' two losses. Lastly, both teams' last three head-to-head games have had even scores twice, so that an even scoreline will count here.
Our match prediction: Handicap (-9.5) for Leicester Tigers for a coefficient of 1.90 in the Bet365 bookmaker.
Our betting tip: Leicester Tigers will win the first and the whole time here for a coefficient of 1.62 in the Betway bookmaker.
Our final match prediction: An even scoreline here for a coefficient of 1.83 in the 1xbet bookmaker.
