Bristol RC Bears vs Leinster Prediction & Betting Tips - Champions Cup
by Steve Ashfield | in Champions Cup Predictions
Leinster have been losing finalists in the European Rugby Champions Cup for the past three years. They begin their attempt to win the cup for the first time since 2018 with an away game against Bristol. Here's our match prediction.
The Irish side will be confident of progressing from Pool 2 which also includes Stade Rochelais, Bath Rugby, Benetton and Clermont. They are already having a successful season and are top of the United Rugby Championship with a seven-point lead.
All seven of their league matches have been won this season with 212 points scored and only 92 conceded. On the road, Leinster have won each of their four league fixtures with at least 30 poiints scored in three of them.
Bristol are second in the English Premiership and only behind leaders Bath on points difference. They have won five of their seven league games, losing the other two. While all their away games have been won, only one of their three home games has ended in victory.
They lost their first two home league games to Gloucester and Saracens with 81 points conceded. Their one home league win was against Northampton Saints. They have scored 255 league points but had 192 scored against them.
We tip Leinster to win this match and lead at half and full time.
