The final match in week four of the European Rugby Champions Cup will come from the Salford Community Stadium where the Sale Sharks will be hosting Toulon on Sunday. The Sharks are in fifth place in Pool 4 while Le RCT lead the group standings. Let’s get into the match prediction. 

Sale Sharks will be looking to bounce back to winning ways here after suffering a thumping 40-0 defeat to the Stormers in Cape Town last weekend. 

The Sharks’ only victory in the Champions Cup came against Racing 92 in week two, but they still hold a positive record of six wins and four defeats in their last 10 across all competitions.

The hosts have been on a tear at home of late, though, currently riding a 10-match win streak - they have not been beaten on their home patch in a year. 

Meanwhile, Toulon have been the pick of the teams in this section, as they maintained their perfect record last weekend with a 33-21 victory over Harlequins at home. 

That result marked Le RCT’s eighth victory in 10 across all competitions, with defeats to the Bordeaux Begles and Toulouse in the Top 14 being the only exceptions. 

The visitors have only won three of their last 10 away games, but they were very convincing in their only match on the road in this competition, beating the Stormers 24-14 last month.
