Saracens travel to Worcester tonight, but playing on the road is what they have been doign all season as they await the completion of their new stadium.

 

Worcester have a good record at home and a good record at home to Saracens

 

Saracens are missing some internationals, but their depth is displayed here.

 

IMHO the Saracens pack is stronger than worcesters tonight. Saracens are experts at grinding out wins, and this is what i see them doing here.

 

The Saracens bench is strong too and will play their part as Sarries edge into a lead as the the game progresses.
