THE PREDICTION
Biarritz qualified for the quarter-finals of the Challenge Cup with an excellent 20-17 victory at home to an improved Toulon side last Saturday. The win snapped a five-match losing streak in the Top 14 that included two losses on home soil to Pau and Toulon and that should encourage travelling Wasps, who have been one of the better away sides in the Premiership this season. The visitors are riding a four-match winning streak across all competitions after a 21-27 victory away at Gloucester two weeks ago and that level is more than likely enough for a win in this first leg to take home next time around. Back Wasps to cover at least -12, double what they made against Gloucester.
