THE PREDICTION
Brive were thumped 41-10 away at Clermont last Saturday in the Top 14 but they are unbeaten in six matches at home across all competitions and they should prove a stern test for travelling Saracens, The visitors can welcome back captain Owen Farrell but they played well in his absence last Friday with a 12-18 smash and grab at Sale Sharks in the Premiership. Sarries have won two of their last three on the road at Sale and Newcastle but Brive’s fans will do their utmost in what should be an entertaining clash on Friday night. Backing the visitors to snatch this outright looks a suitably cautious move given the hosts’ home record.
