Arguably the pick of the EPCR Challenge Cup matches this weekend will see Scarlets welcome RC Vannes to the Parc y Scarlets on Saturday. In Group 3, the Turks are fifth with six points while RCV is fourth on seven points. Let's get into the match prediction.

The Turks failed to build on their 32-15 New Year's Day victory over Dragons, dismantled 31-7 by Gloucester last week when they were 24 points down before getting on the scoreboard. 

Scarlets have struggled to deliver consistent performances lately - after a promising three-match win streak, they have now suffered four defeats from their last six matches.

However, at home, the Turks have recorded four consecutive commanding victories in which they have managed to double their opponent's score on three occasions.

Meanwhile, RCV were engaged in a heated matchup last week but came up on the wrong side of a 29-25 scoreline to opponents Edinburgh in their round three cup encounter.

That result extended their losing run to four consecutive matches which firmly placed them at the bottom of their domestic league campaign.

On the road, they have only won once in their last nine matches across all competitions, which was a 23-14 victory over Stade Rochelais.
