A win and a bonus point will take Scarlets into the knockout stages of the European Rugby Champions Cup. The Welsh club are fourth in Pool 4 and this weekend are home to bottom-placed Section Paloise (aka Pau). Read our match prediction below.
Scarlets have only earned a single point from their two pool fixtures. That has put them in the final qualifying place, ahead of Bulls on points difference and a point ahead of this weekend's opponents.
After an opening 17-16 loss to Bristol, Scarlets suffered a 50-21 defeat at Bordeaux. They are bottom of the United Rugby Championship with just two league wins this season and six defeats. Four of their five home league and cup games have been lost.
Scarlets have only won two of their last 12 matches.
Section Paloise are second in Top 14 but have struggled so far in this season's European Rugby Champions Cup. They lost at home to Northampton Saints in their openiing fixture and were then hammered 61-12 at Bristol.
Ten of their 14 league games this season have been won with three away victories. They were beaten in their most recent game but only lost by three points at Lyon. This could be close and we tip Section Paloise on a +7.5 handicap.
