Exeter Chiefs’ last four matches in Premiership have resulted in two wins and two defeats. The Chiefs’ only loss at Sandy Park in any competition since last December was 19-26 to Wasps in Premiership in April.

Bristol Bears have lost only one of their last seven Premiership fixtures: 17-22 to Harlequins in their most recent away game on 26 October. In just one of those games did The Bears secure a try bonus point.

Exeter has won their last nine fixtures against Bristol in all competitions since The Bears beat them 25-16 at Sandy Park in the Championship in December 2009.
