Blue Bulls vs Northampton Saints Prediction & Betting Tips - Champions Cup
by Steve Ashfield | in Champions Cup Predictions
Bulls host Northampton Saints in a repeat of last season's European Rugby Champions Cup quarter-final. This time around they meet in Pool 3 which also includes Munster, Saracens, Stade Francais and Castres. Here's our match prediction.
The South African side lost the quarter-final last season but that was played in Northampton. They began this season's competition with a 27-5 defeat at Saracens. On home soil though they will be far more difficult to beat.
Bulls are third in the United Rugby Championship with five wins and one defeat. Only two of their six games have been played at home and both were won with 69 points scored, including 47 against Ulster.
Northampton Saints lost in the semi-finals last season and also won the English Premiership play-offs. It's been a difficult start to the season for them and they are down at eighth in the English Premiership.
They are already ten points behind the play-offs, having won three and lost four of their league games. Their main problem is playing away from home with all three league fixtures being lost. Last week saw them beat Castres 38-8 at home in their first pool fixture.
We tip Bulls to win this on a -10.5 points handicap.
