Toulouse vs Harlequins Preview

These sides already met in the UK earlier this year, a match Toulouse won by 27 points. While the stakes are higher this time around, it is tough to see the Quins getting close to breaking the hosts 30-match winning streak at home.

I am backing Toulouse to run away with it at the end, covering the 18-point handicap.

Toulouse have won their last 30 home matches.
Toulouse have won 4 of their last 5 matches.

Head to Head

Toulouse beat Harlequins 47-19 away from home in the Champions Cup earlier this season.

Toulouse Form

Toulouse have been challenging for the Champions Cup title for some time now, but they have failed to get over the final couple of hurdles. They come into this match in great form with four wins in their last five games.

On top of that, Toulouse have won their last 30 games on home soil. That is an incredible record from the French club, and it should make them confident ahead of this clash.

Last week Toulouse beat Racing 92 32-12 at home. They did lose by a point at Toulon the week before but comfortably beat Exeter in the quarterfinal.

Toulouse rested some players last weekend but are back to full-strength this time around.

Harlequins Form

The Quins are hardly having their best season as they are fifth in the Premiership with just nine wins from 16 games. Their focus has largely been on the Champions Cup given their performances in the tournament to date.

The Quins do come into this game with some confidence having beaten Northampton Saints 41-32 at home last weekend. They lost by six points to Sale the week prior.

In the quarterfinal, the Quins did manage an away win in France, beating Bordeaux 42-41 in an absolute thriller. They will need to top that performance by some distance if they are to break Toulouse in France.

The Harlequins are at full strength this weekend, hardly a surprise given the stage of the competition.
