Premiership Play-Offs: History is firmly against Leicester and Exeter

The Gallagher Premiership Play-Offs see Leicester travel to table-topping Northampton on Friday, while Bath host Exeter at The Rec on Saturday. History strongly favours the home sides, with the home team winning 86% of the 43 play-off matches played since the format was introduced in 2002/03, with 'Bristanbul' being the last of only six away wins. Leicester and Exeter must buck that trend to keep their title ambitions alive, though Leicester did achieve a famous away win at Gloucester in 2008, sealed by an Andy Goode stoppage-time drop goal.
