Week two of the European Rugby Challenge Cup continues this Saturday evening when RC Vannes take on Gloucester Rugby at the Stade de La Rabine. RCV currently occupy fifth position in group three after the first round while the Cherry and Whites sit atop the table. Let's get into the match prediction. 

A 23-14 victory over Stade Rochelais saw Vannes turn around their Top 14 woes, yet they were unable to translate that positive result most recently when defeated 22-19 by Black Lion in the opening round of this competition.

With that, they have now recorded just three wins in their last 10 matches across all competitions which sees them rooted to the bottom of the Top 14 standings after 11 games.

However, at home, RCV has managed to produce four wins from their last seven matches across all competitions.

Meanwhile, Gloucester saw off Edinburgh Rugby in a low-scoring 15-10 match to record their first victory in this competition last weekend.

A marginally positive record sees the English outfit with six wins and four losses from their last 10 matches across all competitions which directly translates to their fifth place standing in the Premiership.

The Cherry and Whites have managed to turn around a two-match losing streak with back-to-back victories when playing on the road. They have also split their last 10 with five wins and five defeats.
