THE PREDICTION
Wasps became on the third Premiership side to lose to Worcester this season after a gut-wrenching 32031 result away last Saturday. They take a five-match losing streak across all competitions into the Champions Cup with a proper battle on their hands in an opener against travelling Munster. The visitors have not suffered so much with the covid fallout in South Africa as the likes of Cardiff have but they have not played a competitive test since the last week of October, where they lost 18-10 at Ospreys. On the balance of what looks a tricky match, take the hosts to edge this or for the match to see over 40 points.
