Connacht vs Dragons Prediction: Connacht to dominate this game from the beginning

Dexcom Stadium will host the United Rugby Championship encounter between Connacht and Dragons. The previous time out, the two sides ended on the losing end. How will things play out in time?

Connacht's last league encounter was against Leinster, and this team lost 12-33. In that encounter, Connacht Connacht scored just five goals in the first half while conceding 21. While they performed better in the second half, this team could only score seven goals while conceding 12. Heading into this game, Connacht have lost two consecutive matches and three times this season. With their two victories against Scarlets and Sharks, Connacht sit 13th in the league standings with 13 points.

Dragons struggle to get things right with consecutive poor performances in their last matches. Opening their season, this team defeated Ospreys 23-21 at home and have since then struggled. The Dragons have lost each in their last four matches in the league, coming against Leinster, Sharks, Lions, and Benetton. In the meantime, Dragons are one of the sides with the fewest sides this season, level on 7 points with Zebre, while one point ahead of bottom-placed Ospreys. 

Connacht are expected to win this game with ease, dominate the gameplay, and be very solid offensively. While the Dragons have not played up to expectations this season, being on the road will also be a disadvantage to them. Connacht are well favored in this fixture, and looking at past meetings, I expect them to win this game easily.
