It's been a strong start to the season for both the Sale Sharks and Glasgow Warriors, as they prepare to meet in their European Rugby Champions Cup opener at CorpAcq Stadium on Saturday afternoon.
Winning two of their three games in the Gallagher Prem, Sale find themselves just three points behind early frontrunners Gloucester in the English top flight.
Meanwhile, in the United Rugby Championship, Glasgow's unbeaten start, with two wins and a draw, means they are only behind rivals Edinburgh in the standings.
The Warriors can look back on their previous meetings with the Sharks with fond memories and Franco Smith’s side will be confident they can make the trip back across the border with the spoils.

Sale Sharks v Glasgow Warriors Prediction
Best Bet: Glasgow Warriors -2.5 handicap @ 1/1
Glasgow have made an encouraging start to their 2026/27 URC campaign, with Smith’s side remaining unbeaten after the opening three rounds.
The Warriors secured impressive victories both away to Munster and at home against Connacht, while their entertaining clash with Ulster at Scotstoun ended in a 33-33 stalemate.
Glasgow next travel to CorpAcq Stadium looking to maintain their impressive record against Sale Sharks.
The Scottish outfit have won all four of their previous meetings, including a 26-21 triumph at the same venue when the sides last met in December 2025.
Glasgow head south with a strong side packed with Scotland internationals, especially in the back division.
Considering their form and their record in this fixture, Glasgow are fancied to extend their winning run against Sale and cover the -2.5 handicap.
Alternative Bet: George Horne anytime tryscorer @ 21/20
One of the most experienced players in the Glasgow ranks these days, George Horne has gone from academy starlet to a senior figure in the Warriors squad.
The 31-year-old has an impressive tryscoring record when it comes to the Champions Cup, having scored 12 tries previously in the competition.
Already opening his try account in the URC this season away at Munster, the Scotland scrum-half is good value to bag another try on the road this weekend.
Sale Sharks v Glasgow Warriors Bet Builder Tip
Glasgow Warriors to win
Jamie Dobie anytime tryscorer
Tom Roebuck anytime tryscorer
Pays 17/2
With Glasgow backed for the victory, Jamie Dobie and Tom Roebuck are fancied to score at least one try each in this three-fold Bet Builder.
Scotland utility back Dobie has already scored three tries in the URC this season from the wing and is backed to add to his growing try collection on Saturday.
Scottish-born England winger Roebuck has only made the one appearance for the Sharks this season in the Premiership Rugby Cup but he did score in that match and is fancied to go over against the Warriors this weekend.
