Match preview

Saracens have not put a foot wrong in the Premiership this season with five bonus-point wins from five outings while Exeter looked to hit top gear in a 50-14 success over Bristol last time out.

So there is every reason to expect a thrilling contest when the pair clash at Sandy Park, where the Chiefs are the narrowest of favourites with home advantage.

Sarries are the top scorers in the Premiership with 25 tries but they have also shipped at least two in every match and there could be plenty of try action in this contest.

Exeter wingers Jack Nowell and Olly Woodburn bagged a brace each against Bristol last time out but full-back Stuart Hogg catches the eye this week at 12-5 to score. Hogg spoke this week of his disappointment at losing the Scotland captaincy and could be primed for a big game.

Saracens winger Max Malins shares top spot in the Premiership charts with seven tries in five games, but Elliot Daly also looks in fine form with two tries in his last three and is more generously priced to cross the tryline at 15-8.
