Leicester Tigers vs Stade Francais Prediction & Betting Tips - Champions Cup

Strangely these two sides are meeting for the third time this season in the European Cup. They both qualified from Pool 4 and it was Leicester who finished top four points clear of their French rivals. In the two matches played between the two sides, Leicester won 33-20 at home but lost 36-21 away. Leicester will therefore take great encouragement from the fact they are the higher seed and get the home draw. That's a fact emphasised even further by the fact they have won nine of their ten home Aviva Premiership games with only Sale winning there. Stade Francais aren't having a good season in Top 14 rugby currently sitting 12th in the table having lost 13 of their 20 matches with five defeats in the last six. A home win for Leicester is the likely result here, especially as the French side have won one and lost nine of their ten away Top 14 games this season.
