Glasgow vs Racing 92 Preview


Glasgow are in superb form on home soil with 16 straight victories. They are unlikely to falter against a Racing 92 side that has been poor on the road.

  • Glasgow have won their last 16 home matches.
  • Racing 92 have lost their last 4 away matches.
  • Racing are winless in 6 of their last 7 matches.

Head to Head


These two have only met once with Glasgow winning that game 23-7 at home back in 2016.

Glasgow Form


Glasgow are currently placed second in Pool 4 of the European Champions Cup after two matches. They won one and lost one of their two games and are one point off Toulon at the top.

The Warriors are having another strong season in the URC after winning the title last season. Before Christmas, the Warriors played a double header against Edinburgh, winning at home and losing narrowly on the road.

In the Champions Cup, Glasgow beat Sale 38-19 at home in their first game before going down 30-29 at Toulon in mid-December 2024.

All teams focus largely on their home games during the group stage. For that reason, I expect the Warriors to be at full strength and with victory, they should rest players on the road next weekend.

Racing 92 Form


Racing 92 are not having their finest season in the Top 14 and they’ve also made an average start to the Champions Cup. While they have one win and a defeat, the same as their opponents, their loss was heavy.

The former French champions have a very good side, but they can’t seem to put any consistent performances together, particularly away from home. Racing 92 are winless in their last four matches and have lost their last four away games.

After beating Harlequins in the Champions Cup at home, Racing went down 29-7 to Sale away. Then proceeded to lose in the Top 14 to Montpellier and Toulon, with a home draw against Lyon their only reasonably positive result.

Racing will be focused on their form in the Top 14 rather than this away fixture. Expect a few players to be rested on the road while they will return for the home fixture next weekend.

Verdict

Glasgow are backed to cover the -16 handicap on home soil.
