Pool B of the European Rugby Champions Cup begins with Racing Metro 92 hosting Harlequins. Also in this pool are Toulouse, Cardiff, Bath and Ulster with the top four all making their way into the last 16. The home side are having a successful season and are currently leading Top 14. They have won won six of their last nine games and lead the table by a point. Racing did lose their most recent game though, their third loss in Top 14 this season. That latest loss came at Clermont. Home form has taken them to their lofty position in the Top 14. They have won all four of their league games, most recently beating Stade Rochelais 32-10.

Harlequins are third in the English Premiership but only a point behind league leaders Sale Sharks. They narrowed the gap at the top last weekend when beating Sale 36-3. That was a much-needed win though after successive defeats at the hands of Saracens and Northampton Saints. Away from home this season, Harlequins have won a couple of games but lost the other two. They were narrow defeats though with a combined points margin of just four points. Home advantage is going to be vital here. Racing are in top form on home soil and we believe that will lead them to a win over Harlequins.
