Gloucester vs Benetton Prediction: Benetton have a chance in this game

At the Kingsholm Stadium, Gloucester will play Benetton in game 2 of the European Challenge Cup. The winner of this game will play either Sharks of Clermont, who play earlier in the day. Let’s look into this game and provide betting opportunities. 

Gloucester's last game was against Exeter Chiefs, a game that ended in a 17-38 defeat. In the meantime, that will be their third defeat in recent games, with two others coming against Bristol and Saracens. In the meantime, Gloucester's last games in this European Challenge Cup saw them defeat Castres Olympique in the round ⅛ and then a 23-13 win over Ospreys in the quarterfinal. Coming into this game, Gloucester are favorites, and we expect them to be able to win here.

Benetton lost to Ulster in their last league game, and coming into this game, they will hope for redemption. In the meantime, Benetton had a four-game win run in prior encounters to that defeat. In their last game in the European Challenge Cup, Benetton played Connacht in the quarterfinal and secured a 39-24 win. However, other wins in their run of four wins saw Benetton defeat Connacht in the league, Lions and Dragons. However, while this side has lost each of the last games of this fixture, Benetton will hope to secure their first win here.

This game could be tricky and tougher than it looks on paper. Gloucester have dominated this fixture, but their last meeting was in 2021, with the hosts also struggling at the moment. Benetton have shown promising performances this season, but coming in as heavy underdogs raises questions on how well they can play here. Moreover, this game is expected to be tight, and the visiting Benetton are expected to close the odds.
