THE PREDICTION
Perpignan have enjoyed some strong results at home in their first season back in the Top 14, with a recent 26-24 victory over Clermont and a 22-13 over La Rochelle particular stand-outs. They will be tough opposition for a travelling Dragons outfit coming on a four-match losing streak after a 33-14 drubbing at Glasgow last Saturday. The Welsh region did claim a superb win away at Connacht back in October but there has been little evidence of a return to that marauding form since. Perpignan are not fancied for this but taking them with a head-start of +4 seems a reasonable concession here as the team in much better form.
