Pool 3 of the European Rugby Champions Cup sees Aviron Bayonne host Stormers on Saturday. Also in this pool are Harlequins, Stade Rochelais, Leicester Tigers and Leinster. Read our match prediction below.
Teams need to finish in the top four to make it into the knockout stages with the top two earning a home tie.
Aviron Bayonne are fifth in Top 14 and their most recent game saw them beat Lyon 22-20 at home. That victory made it six wins out of six in Top 14 this season with a points difference of +91. They played in the European Challenge Cup last season, losing in the last 16.
Stormers are currently top of the United Rugby Championship. The South African club have won all six of their matches, four of them on the road. They will be hoping for a better campaign in this competition than last season. They ended up bottom of Pool 3, losing three of their four matches.
This is their fifth consecutive away game and their most recent matches have seen them require a second-half comeback to get the win. This is going to be tough for them in France and we tip the home side to win this match.

Our Aviron Bayonne vs Stormers Prediction
Like several teams in Top 14, Aviron Bayonne possesses a bit of a Jekyll and Hyde personality. All six of their home league games have been won but the last four on the road all lost. Making the most of their home matches in this pool will be important for them in terms of qualification.
Stormers are top of the United Rugby Championship but had a miserable European Rugby Champions Cup campaign last season. With Aviron Bayonne having the home advantage here, this is a difficult opener for them. Our Aviron Bayonne v Stormers prediction is Aviron Bayonne wins.
