Glasgow Warriors Preview – Can Glasgow do the business?
The duels between Glasgow and Exeter have become a good rivalry between the two teams in Europe.
This will be the sixth time in the last five seasons that they have come up against each other.
Glasgow enter the match as the 7/4 underdogs in rugby betting on Saturday* (odds recorded 20:39 GMT on December 16th, 2021).
But they do have a W2 D1 record from their last three home matches against Exeter.
The most recent of those meetings was in the 2020 pool stage.
The match produced a thrilling 31-31 draw.
In total there have been seven previous European Champions Cup rugby matches played between the Warriors and Chiefs.
Glasgow are W3 D1 L3 in that sequence of matches.
They are looking to shrug off a three-match winless streak of form (D1 L2) against the Chiefs currently.
The recent form of Glasgow hasn’t been terrific as they have lost three of their last four in all competitions.
In last weekend’s Heineken Cup opener, they paid a visit to La Rochelle.
That was a tough opener and Glasgow lost 20-13 against the Top14 side.
Glasgow have taken a win in eight of the last ten matches on home turf in all competitions (L2).
They are undefeated in their last two home games against English visitors (W1 D1).
Exeter Chiefs Preview – Chiefs to make it two from two?
There was a very impressive start made to this campaign by Exeter last weekend.
They played host to Montpellier at Sandy Park.
That was expected to be a stern test for the Chiefs, but Exeter romped it 42-6.
That was their third win in a row in all competitions, so they look as if they are getting a good foothold with their form now.
The bookmakers have Exeter as the 2/5 odds-on favourites in rugby betting* (odds recorded 20:39 GMT on December 16th, 2021).
Exeter have remained unbeaten in their last eight pool stage matches in the Heineken Cup.
Of those eight, Exeter won seven.
Considering that their previous-longest winning streak in the pool stage was two matches, this is some record from them.
