THE PREDICTION
Bordeaux were stunned 15-16 at home to La Rochelle last Saturday as they continue to see their season unravel and this immediate rematch is probably unwelcome in their current form. Six of their last seven matches have ended in defeat in the Top 14 whilst the visitors have won five of their last six as they continue to repair a domestic season that started poorly. It would be easy to suggest that the hosts would be able to avenge last weekend’s result in a knockout format but backing the form side to edge this again with a +3 head-start looks the shrewd move.
