Gloucester may be struggling in PREM Rugby but it's a different story in this competition. They lead Pool A of the PREM Rugby Cup by three points and on Sunday travel to bottom-placed Bristol. Time for our match prediction.
The away side only has Newcastle Red Bulls below them in the regular league table. In this competition though, different line-ups are being played due to top players being away on international duty.
The top two in each pool qualify for the semi-finals. Gloucester lead the pool by three points from Sale Sharks and are four clear of Bath in third. So far in this pool, Gloucester have beaten Exeter and Bath at home and won away at Sale Sharks.
Their only loss to date has been the reverse fixture against Bristol when losing 40-24 at home so they'll be out for revenge.
Bristol are six points adrift of the second place that would qualify them for the last four. Only eight points have been earned from their first four pool fixtures. The away win at Gloucester is their only win with away losses at Sale Sharks and Exeter Chiefs and a home defeat inflcited by Bath.
We tip Gloucester to win this match on a +8.5 handicap.
