Northampton Saints have already qualified for the knockout stages of the European Rugby Champions Cup. They are third in Pool 4 and their final fixture sees them host bottom-placed Scarlets. Time for our match prediction.

The Saints are three points behind second placed Bristol and four adrift of leaders Bordeaux, who beat them last weekend. The top two meet this weekend and Northampton need to beat Scarlets to have any chance of a top two finish and a home draw in the last 16 and quarter-finals.

Northampton have won their only home pool game.

They beat Bulls 50-5 and the PREM Rugby leaders have scored 163 points in their last three home fixtures.

Scarlets are yet to win in this pool and have only earned a couple of bonus points. Friday's win for Section Paloise left the Welsh club three points behind fifth place. They need to win this game to extend their European season.

A win with a bonus point would see them qualify for the knockout stages but that looks unlikely after three pool defeats. Their only away game saw them beaten 50-21 at Bordeaux. They are bottom of the United Rugby Championship.

Five of their last six games have been lost. We tip Saints to win on a -23.5 handicap.

Our Northampton Saints vs Scarlets Prediction

A win for Northampton could well see them secure a top two finish and a home draw in the last 16 and quarter-finals if they get that far. The Saints currently top PREM Rugby and have been scoring points for fun in recent fixtures at Franklin's Gardens.

Section Paloise winning on Friday was terrible news for Scarlets. They now need to win at Northampton to avoid an early European exit. The Welsh club are struggling for wins and our Northampton Saints v Scarlets prediction is Northampton Saints wins on a -23.5 handicap.
