Glasgow vs Dragons Preview

Glasgow’s recent form has been somewhat up and down, but overall, they are having a fine season. The Dragons on the other hand are struggling on all fronts.

At home, I fancy the Warriors to be too strong and cover the -16 handicap.

Glasgow have won their last 2 matches against Dragons.
Glasgow won their last home match against the Dragons by 40 points.

These two met twice in 2023 with the Warriors winning on both occasions. At home, the Warriors won 73-33 and away 42-28.

The Warriors are third on the URC table with six wins and three defeats in nine matches. They are just a point off Benetton in second and three off Leinster at the top.

Glasgow won their last match before the Six Nations break, beating Toulon 29-5 in the Champions Cup. The week prior, Exeter beat Glasgow 19-17 in the same competition.

In the URC, the Warriors suffered a 19-14 defeat to Edinburgh in a Scottish derby at the end of September. That came a week after winning their home game, 22-10 against the same opposition.

Without their Scottish internationals, Glasgow are severely weakened. However, there is some depth to their squad, and they will fancy turning over a struggling Dragons side.

Dragons Form

The Dragons are languishing in 15th place on the URC table, just a point ahead of the Sharks at the bottom. They have managed just two victories this season in their nine URC games.

The Dragons have almost exclusively been on the wrong side of all results this season. They did beat Scarlets 13-12 on New Years Day, but other than that, they’ve struggled.

Their last game ended in a 29-9 home loss to the Sharks in the Challenge Cup. A week before they lost 20-17 to Zebre in the same competition.

While the Dragons are not littered with international players, they are still missing key players to the Six Nations.
