Gloucester vs Sharks Preview
Both teams have rested players in the weeks leading up to this final so not much should be read into their most recent results. The Sharks are however slight favourites with a handicap of three points.

It’s a tough one to call, but I fancy Gloucester to come away with the win, or at least get within three points.
- Gloucester have lost 3 of their last 5 matches.
- Gloucester won their last match.
- Sharks have lost their last 2 matches.
- Sharks have won 6 of their last 9 matches.
Head to Head
These sides have never met before.
Gloucester Form
Gloucester have enjoyed a fine season, especially in the Challenge Cup. Recently they have rested a few players in the Premiership to keep them fresh for this final which has caused a poor result or two.
After beating Benetton 46-24 at home in the Challenge Cup semi-final, Gloucester rested their entire team away at Northampton. They lost the game 90-0.
Last week Gloucester bounced back on home soil, beating Newcastle 54-14. That will hopefully give them some confidence in London this Friday.
Gloucester Injuries & Team News
Gloucester have made numerous changes to their side from last weekend.
Sharks Form
The Sharks season could not have gone much worse, other than reaching their first European Cup final. They have only managed four wins in the URC all season.
Despite their horrid form, the Sharks have been good in 2024. They won six of their seven matches before losing their last two coming into the final.
Much of the defeats recently can however be put down to them resting key players for this final. They lost at home to Benetton by appoint and were thrashed 36-14 by Cardiff last weekend.
Sharks Injuries & Team News
The Sharks are back to full-strength this weekend after resting players in the last two weeks.
Verdict
I am backing Gloucester to get within three points and perhaps win the Challenge Cup final against the Sharks.
