Connacht is the favored team in their upcoming match against Zebre, boasting a significant head-to-head advantage. Despite the absence of key players and a series of away defeats, optimism remains for Connacht to cover the -7.5 handicap. Zebre's inconsistent home performance and their last-place position in the United Rugby Championship further bolsters this prediction. With Connacht aiming to offset their recent losses and Zebre grappling with form challenges, the game promises intriguing dynamics as Connacht vies to reclaim their winning ways.
