Northampton Saints v Saracens Odds: Visitors Can Qualify for Guinness Premiership Final

What a match in prospect as Northampton Saints take on Saracens at Franklin Gardens this Sunday in this Guinness Premiership Play-off Semi Final. The Bookmakers make Saints favourites with Bet365 going as short as 2/5 odds on them winning, with ‘Sarries’ at 2/1 to do the same.

The two teams, who qualified second and third in the league phase of the competition, played out a thriller, just three weeks ago at this venue for their second league match of the season. Saracens came out on top in that match by 28-27, which gave them the double over Saints, after beating them back in September by 19-16. These two wins make a bit of a mockery of the odds, which we are sure that Sarrie fans will fully exploit and we also feel sure that they will provide a good motivating factor for the team.

To add further credence to the Saracens case, they looked absolutely outstanding last week in the final league game against league winners, Leicester, beating them away from home by 32-23. That win brought them their fourth victory in their last four starts, which is form that is very hard to ignore.

Saints having lost to Bath and then Saracens in the league in successive weeks in April, returned to form last week with a resounding win over London Irish by 31-7, scoring three tries in the process. They will need to continue that excellent form if they are to withstand the Saracens challenge this weekend.

We are going to side with ‘Sarries’ to win this match, but believe it will only be by the narrowest of margins. We would back them to win by a Winning Margin of between 1-5 points with odds of 11/2 offered by bet365.
