Exeter vs Glasgow
Exeter welcome Glasgow to Sandy Park for this Champions Cup encounter. The home side are joint top of the group with nine points after winning their opening two matches while the visitors are in third place with four points. Exeter were on a four-game winning streak but were brought back to earth with a bang in their last match. They will be scratching their heads and wandering how they squandered a 26-0 lead to lose the match 42-36. Glasgow are also coming off a loss after being defeated by Edinburgh in the 1872 Cup although they retained the Cup, thanks to a better points aggregate over the two legs.
TIP: Exeter have been one of the only sides in Europe that have played almost the same squad across all their matches and it showed when the exhaustion caught up with them in the last match. Glasgow will be aware of this and will look to run the ball from anywhere on the field to keep the big Chiefs pack on the move. The match will be decided in the forwards and the home team have an advantage in this area. The bookies have Exeter as favorites and I’m also tipping them for the win. The best odds on this bet are as follows: Betway 1.35, Gbets 1.36 and Hollywoodbets 1.35

PREDICTION
The discipline of both teams will be crucial to their success as both teams possess excellent driving mauls and tend to kick for the corner instead of going for the posts. The man that has ignited the Chiefs charge this year has been England discard Henry Slade as he is in the form of his life. The contest between him and Sione Tuipulotu in the midfield will be worth the admission price alone. The surprise package in the home teams success this season has been their young winger Immanuel Feyi-Waboso who has explosive pace and power. He could prove to be the difference between the sides therefore I predict a home win by 10 points.
