It's the battle of the sharks this weekend in Pool 1 of the European Rugby Champions Cup. Sale Sharks are fourth in the pool at the halfway stage and are home to Sharks who are a point and a place below them. Read our match prediction below.
Sale Sharks are in the final qualifying position and only behind second and third places on points difference. They are seventh in PREM Rugby with three wins and six defeats. At home, they have won three of their four league fixtures, only losing to Exeter Chiefs by a single point.
In this competition, they lost a lead and were beaten at home by Glasgow but then went to Clermont and won..
Sharks will not just have to cope with the ability of the home side but the wintry conditions in Salford, England. Not quite the heat of Durban. They have also had mixed results in this pool. They conceded 56 points away to Stade Toulousain but then defeated Saracens at home but only by five points.
The South Africans are 14th in the United Rugby Championship with only two wins from eight games and five defeats. Four of their five away games this season have been lost. We tip Sale to win on a -15.5 handicap.

Our Sale Sharks vs Hollywoodbets Sharks Prediction
Sharks make the long trip from South Africa to a very cold Salford in England. They are fifth in this pool but only a point behind their English opponents and a home game against Clermont to come.
Sale Sharks narrowly lost to in-form Glasgow Warriors but then won away at Clermont. They still have plenty of work to do to qualify for the last 16 and really need to win this. Home advantage will help and our Sale Sharks v Sharks prediction is Sale Sharks wins on a -15.5 handicap.
