Stormers play their third European Champions Rugby Cup game of the season. They have lost both of their first two pool games and this weekend host Sale Sharks who are in fourth place. Can Stormers get a win? Here's our match prediction.
The South African club are bottom of the group and four points behind Racing 92 with Sale a further point ahead. They are tenth in the United Rugby Championship but have won three of their four home league games with recent wins over Sharks and Lions.
So far in the European Rugby Champions Cup, they have been beaten 24-14 at home by leaders RC Toulon and lost heavily 53-16 at Harlequins.
Sale Sharks are sixth in the English Premiership but it's their home form that has got them into that position. Four of their five away games in that league this season have ended in defeat. Their most recent away game saw them lose at Gloucester but before that they won 38-0 at Bristol.
They began their campaign in this pool with a 38-19 loss at Glasgow but then defeated Racing 92 at home. This could be a close match and our tip is to back Sale Sharks to win with a +7.5 points start.
