It's been a hard pool for Northampton but a win at Scarlets should be enough to get them into the knock-out stages, especially if they can get a bonus point. A heavy away defeat and a home draw with Racing 92 ruined any chance they had of winning the pool and gaining automatic qualification into the last eight. They have won their other three games against Glasgow and Scarlets so second place is theirs, they just have to hope they can get enough points to reach the knock-out stages with only the three best second placed sides going through. Scarlets have lost all of their pool matches but only narrowly lost at Northampton earlier in the group. Their two home losses to Racing 92 and Glasgow haven't been massive defeats either so while Northampton should win this game, a bonus point might not be on the cards. Just going for a straight win for Northampton is the best bet here.
