Bristol RC Bears vs Bulls Prediction & Betting Tips - Champions Cup
by Steve Ashfield | in Champions Cup Predictions
Bristol Bears from England host South African side Bulls in Pool A of the European Rugby Champions Cup. The home side are fifth in the pool with two games to go and only behind third placed Bulls on points difference. Bristol have won one of their games in this pool but lost the other one. They got their campaign off to a good start with a 36-34 home win over Lyon who are currently second in the pool. They had an 11 point lead at half time in that match and withstood a second half comeback by Lyon but just held on. Their second match was away at current leaders Bordeaux and that was lost 36-17. They lost the first half by 19 points and just couldn't recover from that. They have won two of their last three games and last week won away at Sale Sharks. Two of their last three home matches have been won. After this game they end this pool with a trip to bottom side Connacht so still have a very good chance of qualifying.
Bulls are in third place with five points from their two games. The South Africans are only two points ahead of their opponents and really need to win one of their last two games to qualify for the knockout stages. They still have a home game against leaders Bordeaux to come so the pressure is really on them despite being third in the pool. Bulls won their opening pool match 27-16 against Saracens but then lost by a single point away to Lyon. That was a poor result for them after leading by six points at the break. That was followed by another loss at Stormers in the United Rugby Championship. We go for Bristol to get a vital win this weekend.
