Glasgow Warriors News & Form
Glasgow are still in with a chance of making it through to the next round as one of the best runners up, so they do have a lot to play for. It has been a W2 L2 record for the Warriors so far in the group, but they have looked pretty tidy in defence overall. Their victories happened away at La Rochelle and then at home in the last round of action, taking a 13-7 victory over Sale. In last season’s Pool stage Glasgow had to settle for second place in their section behind Saracens, losing both games against the English champions. Can they come up with the answers at home to stop the formidable Chiefs? They have won 9 of their last 11 home games against English opposition.

Exeter Chiefs News & Form
It has been four wins from four for Exeter in the Heineken Cup. They have stacked up sixteen tries in their four fixtures as well, taking three tries bonus points. A win and they will be in the next round of the competition and it would put them through to the quarter-finals for the second time in their history. Exeter are just so good with the ball and don’t give up many turnovers, making life difficult for opponents. If you are watching in-play, then the 20 minute period after half time has been hot for the Chiefs. Six of their tries in this season’s competition have come in that period. Their current four-match winning streak is their best ever in the competition.

Glasgow Warriors vs Exeter Chiefs Prediction
It’s hard to see the defence of the Warriors withstanding the pressure that the Chiefs can pound them with over 80 minutes. The away win does have big appeal here as Exeter have a chance to get to the next round with a game to spare, which is so important. Away win.
