THE PREDICTION
Scarlets’ had to concede the reverse of this fixture for a 28-0 defeat in early December and their two points came from another cancelled fixture shared with Bordeaux. They lost heavily at Bordeaux, which was to be expected, and now they face another likely defeat by travelling Bristol riding a two-match winning streak. The visitors beat Stade Francais 28-17 last Saturday and they can finish the job of qualifying for the last 16 with what could be quite an attritional victory here. Taking Bristol as outright winners seems a reasonable concession for a side with just two away wins this season.
