During the previous weekend, USA Perpignan faced a disappointing 25-3 defeat away to Ospreys. The first half concluded with Ospreys leading 8-0, leaving USA Perpignan struggling. Despite managing to score three points in the second half, inadequate defensive play from USA Perpignan, coupled with a more balanced performance from Ospreys, allowed the latter to score an additional 17 points. Notwithstanding this setback, a review of the host's recent matches reveals a positive streak, with three consecutive victories before the Ospreys defeat. They secured wins against Aviron Bayonnais, Castres Olympique, and US Oyonnax in those matches.

Newcastle Falcons have faced consecutive defeats, with their losing streak extending to 14 matches. In their most recent encounter last week, Newcastle Falcons suffered a disheartening 18-57 loss at home to Benetton. At halftime, they conceded 22 points but managed to score 13. Unfortunately, the second half took a turn for the worse, with Benetton seizing full control. Newcastle Falcons could only muster five points while conceding 35. Despite entering this match as underdogs once again, the English side is optimistic about improving their performance and avoiding another defeat.

Newcastle Falcons have experienced a decline from their peak, and their performance at home has been less than promising. Despite not being in peak form, USA Perpignan, playing on their home turf, is anticipated to assert dominance. They are expected to emerge as favorites, securing victory in each half of the match, while Newcastle Falcons are unlikely to cover the spread.
