by Steve Ashfield | in Champions Cup Predictions
The bottom two clubs in Pool 1 of the European Rugby Champions Cup face each other this weekend. Sharks are home to bottom-of-the-pool Clermont and a win could yet see them qualify for the knockout stages. Time for our match prediction.
Sharks have five points going into this final pool game. They are two points adrift of the final qualifying position currently held by Stade Toulousain and five behind third-placed Saracens but with an inferior points difference.
Qualifying is going to be difficult for Sharks with Stade Toulousain likely to win their final game against Sale Sharks. A win over Clermont (five points below them) will at least guarantee a transfer to the Challenge Cup by finishing fifth.
Clermont are yet to earn a point in this pool and cannot qualify for the knockout stages. Finishing fifth is the best they can achieve but even that is going to be difficult. They will need to win this match, get a bonus point, not concede one and turn around a -22 gap in points difference.
They are eighth in Top 14 with two away wins and five defeats. Each of their three losses in this pool have seen their opponents score at least 30 points. We tip Sharks to win on a -25.5 handicap.

Our Hollywoodbets Sharks vs Clermont Prediction
Sharks didn't take their best players to England last week and ended up losing to Sale but only by 16 points. Their top players will be back for this vital home game against Clermont as they bid to avoid an early end to their European season.
That should be achieved against a Clermont side who face an almighty task just to finish fifth in this pool. All three of their pool games have been lost. Our Sharks v Clermont prediction is Sharks wins on a -25.5 handicap.
