Zebre vs Stormers Prediction: Stormers remain heavy favorites

In week three matches of the United Rugby Championship, Zebre will host Stormers at Stadio Sergio Lanfranchi. The home team has failed to win any game of this fixture. While the visiting team is struggling, can Zebre take their chances?

Zebre will look to make it consecutive wins after securing their first win of the season against Munster. Zebre had to come from behind in that game to take maximum points after a 15-28 defeat at halftime. In the meantime, their second-half performance saw this team pull off a 27-5 win and win 42-33. This season, Zebre have six points from a possible six, leaving them seated 6th in the standings. 

Stormers will enter this game hoping to secure their first league win this season. The visiting team played Glasgow Warriors on the road in their opener and lost 27-10. However, last weekend against Ospreys, they struggled and ended up losing 37-24, despite winning the halftime of that encounter. Heading into this game, the Stormers are the only side without a point in the league, leaving them at the bottom of the standings. 

Stormers should secure their first win of the season in this fixture. No offense, Zebre at home coming from a win should have enough momentum to take a win in this game, but they are not at the level of Stormers. With consecutive defeats in their first two games of the season, I expect Stormers to stop up and do that in a strong way in this encounter.
