Racing 92 vs Stormers Preview


The Stormers away form has been poor this season and a trip to Racing 92 is a very challenging one. The hosts are backed in the handicap market.

Head to Head


Racing 92 have never faced the Stormers before.

Racing 92 Form


Racing 92 are bottom of Pool 4 in the Champions Cup with just one win from three games. However, victory here could see them move into the top four of the group, depending on other results.

Last week, Racing lost 29-19 at Glasgow after beating the Harlequins in the opener and losing to Sale a week later. In the Top 14, Racing have been pretty average as well, losing 21-17 at Montpellier and drawing 25-all at home to Lyon. 

Racing 92’s last Top 14 fixture ended in a 36-24 loss at Toulon. In their defeat to Glasgow last weekend, Racing held firm for large periods, but their strongest side didn’t feature and couldn’t maintain the pressure for 80 minutes.

Racing 92 Injuries & Team News


Expect a host of changes to the Racing 92 side for this game.

Stormers Form


The Stormers are currently in fourth position on the table but have also won just one of their three Champions Cup fixtures. They need a win here to have any chance of qualification, but their away form has been poor of late.

Last weekend the Stormers thrashed Sale Sharks 40-0 at home in the Champions Cup after losing their two opening games at home to Toulon and away to Harlequins.

In the URC, the Stormers beat the Lions and Sharks before the Sale game last weekend. So, John Dobson’s side is on a three-match winning streak.

Stormers Injuries & Team News


The Stormers have struggled this season and instead of going big for this result, could opt to rather focus on upcoming games in the URC.

Verdict

Racing 92 should be too good for a Stormers side who have struggled away from home. I'm backing the hosts to cover the -8 handicap.
