Sharks are yet to earn a point in European Rugby Champions Cup Pool 1. They are fifth in the six-team pool and this weekend are home to second-placed Saracens? Can the English side get a big win in South Africa? Read our match prediction to discover our views.
Last weekend saw Sharks beaten 56-19 at Stade Toulousain. It's not been a good season for them so far and they are only 14th in the United Rugby Championship. Four of their six games in that league have been lost wit just one home win against bottom-of-the-table Scarlets.
Last season saw the South African club finish fifth in their pool. They then lost in the last 16 of the Challenge Cup.
Saracens got off to a winning start last weekend with a 47-10 home victory over Clermont. They are second in the pool, only behind Stade Toulouse on points difference. They are sixth in PREM Rugby with three wins and the same number of defeats.
Only one of their three away league games has ended in victory. That was at Newcastle Red Bulls but they were beaten at both Harlequins and Northampton Saints. They scored 31 points at Northampton and led at half time. A similar performance should see them win this game.

Our Hollywoodbets Sharks vs Saracens FC Prediction
Sharks lacked bite in their opening pool match and were soundly beaten at Stade Toulousain. Their next two pool matches are against clubs who play in PREM Rugby. First they host Saracens before going to Sale for a battle of the Sharks.
It's not going well for the South African club with only one league win. Saracens began this pool well with a comfortable home win over Clermont. They will be confident of a second win this weekend. Our Sharks v Saracens prediction is Saracens wins.
