Leicester Tigers and Northampton Saints will face off in the East Midlands derby this weekend as they aim for precious early season PREM points.
Both sides have won two of their three games at the start of the new Prem Rugby season, with the Tigers falling short in their home opener against Saracens and the Saints losing away at Bristol in round two.
The Tigers have had the better of this fixture at Welford Road in recent seasons, winning each of the last three, with the Saints' last away win against their bitter rivals being in January 2023.
Northampton head into the match as defending champions, having defeated Leicester in last season's semi final at Franklin's Gardens en route to lifting the Prem title.
Despite their poor recent record in this fixture, Northampton head into this contest as narrow favourites, with their attacking pedigree likely to be the factor that would get them over the line.
Both sides are similarly priced in the race to reach 10 points first, with a fast start set to be vital in deciding the result of this fierce affair.
Saints and England flyer Tommy Freeman is the favourite to open the try scoring on Saturday, just ahead of his wing partner George Hendy, alongside Tigers duo Gabriel Hamer-Webb and Adam Radwan.
