The URC clash between the Bulls and Glasgow Warriors is expected to be highly entertaining, with both teams entering the match with three wins out of four so far in the competition, and only two points separating them on the standings.
Glasgow will be full of confidence after coming off an impressive 42-17 win against the Ospreys away last week, while the Bulls had to work hard for a nail-biting 28-27 victory against Connacht in their second tour game.
The visitors from Pretoria, who return to South Africa next week, will draw inspiration from the fact that they have won three of the last five outings between the teams – the last of which was a 26-19 win at the Scotstoun Stadium.
Spicing up the clash, the Warriors have scored only 13 more points than the Bulls, but the visitors will have their work cut out on defence, in particular, as they have conceded 74 points more than Glasgow – an area that will be essential to keep alive their hopes of registering their fourth win in the United Rugby Championship.
