Union Bordeaux Begles vs Leicester Tigers Prediction & Betting Tips - Champions Cup
by Steve Ashfield | in Champions Cup Predictions
English Premiership side Leicester Tigers have a tough start to their 2024/25 European Rugby Champions Cup campaign. They travel to Bordeaux Begles for this Pool 1 game. Here's our match prediction.
Also in this pool are Exeter Chiefs, Sharks, Stade Toulousain and Ulster. Bordeaux Begles will be confident of getting a home win this weekend. They are second in Top 14 and have won eight and lost three in that league this season. The Begles have won all six of their home fixtures and scored 222 points in those wins. Only Clermont have scored more home points than them in Top 14 this season and twice in their last five home matches have scored over 50 points.
Leicester Tigers are third in the English Premiership after seven games. The TIgers have won five and lost two of their fixtures. On the road, three out of four have been won with the other being a defeat at Sale in their most recent away fixture, losing 39-25.
The top four in this pool go into the last 16. The first and second are guaranteed home draws with third and fourth playing away. Leicester may find it hard to finish first or second considering the top couple of French teams are in this pool.
We tip Bordeaux to win and defy a -14.5 points handicap.
