Sharks vs Glasgow Warriors Prediction: Undefeated Warriors won’t stoop so low

United Rugby Championship week five matches are here, and in one of the matches scheduled for the day, Sharks will play Glasgow Warriors at Kings Park Stadium. Heading into this game, the Warriors won at home ground. How will the Sharks approach this encounter?

Sharks suffered their second defeat of the season the previous time out against Benetton, a game that ended 38-10. Sharks struggled at halftime in that game, scoring only three points, and then losing 14-7 in the second half. However, the Sharks' first defeat of the season was against the Dragons, an encounter that ended 14-16 in week 3. Heading into this game, Sharks have six points from three matches and sit 14th. 

Glasgow Warriors secured an outstanding 33-3 win over Zebre the last time out and will look to play at the top level again. In that game, this team pulled off a 21-3 win at halftime, then held their opponents to zero in the second half, scoring 12. However, that win was Glasgow Warriors’ third this season, defeating Benetton and Cardiff Rugby in week two and three matches. Glasgow Warriors have 16 points this season and sit second in the United Rugby Championship standings. 

Glasgow Warriors are playing so well now; I expect them to be at the top level. With Sharks favored to win here, they will come hoping to step up their game. This is an open game, especially considering how good the Glasgow Warriors have been. Therefore, I am backing Sharks to win, a game that should end with many points.
