Bristol travel to Scarlets in the European Rugby Champions Cup. This is their opening fixture in Pool 4 which also includes holders Bordeaux Begles, Bulls, Northampton Saints and Section Paloise. Time for our match prediction.
To qualify for the knockout stages, a side must finish in the top four of this pool.
Bristol are fifth in PREM Rugby with four wins and two defeats this season. One of their three away games has been won. Their only away victory came at Gloucester.
Their most recent game saw them defeat Northampton Saints (last season’s losing finalist in this competition) at home. They will hope for a better campaign than last year when finishing bottom of their pool.
Scarlets have been struggling this season and are bottom of the United Rugby Championship.
Only one of their five games has been won with the other four all ending in defeat. Their sole victory came in their most recent game when beating Glasgow Warriors. Before that they had lost to Munster and Stormers, falling to score in the latter.
They played in the European Challenge Cup last season, reaching the knockout stages but losing at Ospreys in the last 16.
We tip Bristol to win this match on a -8.5 handicap.
