The Heineken Champions Cup is heating up, and in Round 4, we will see The Cell C Sharks make the trip to London to take on the Harlequins at Twickenham Stoop on Saturday. The visitors come into this match boasting a perfect record in this competition with three wins in three matches after taking apart Bordeaux at Kings Park Stadium last week. They are currently in second place in Pool A and just one point behind Leinster. The Sharks are already guaranteed a place n the Round of 16 regardless of the outcome of this match, but they have opted to travel with a full squad to London, which suggests that they will be going for the win, which will give them an easier fixture in the two-legged knockout stages.
Harlequins have found it a little more difficult in this tournament so far, managing only one win in their three matches so far. They are currently in seventh place, just one spot inside the 8-team per pool qualification zone. In their last match, they were beaten narrowly by Racing 92 with a score line of 30-29; however, there were plenty of positives for Harlequins to take from that match which will hold them in good stead against an arguably better side this time around. Twickenham stoop will be packed to the rafters for this one, and the Quins will be raring to go with a spot in the next round up for grabs.

Our Harlequins FC vs Hollywoodbets Sharks Prediction
Despite the recent form comparison and log standings, the home side is the bookmaker's favourite for this match. However, the Sharks have already shown their strength in this competition, and announcing a full squad for the trip suggests that they will not be resting players as they did last month when they lost to Connacht in the URC. It should be close, but we fancy the outsiders to pull off a win in this one as they look to end the group stages in the top spot. Our Harlequins v Sharks prediction is a win for the visitors.
