Leinster have already qualified for the knockout stages of the European Rugby Champions Cup. They top Pool 3 by two points and their final fixture sees them travel to bottom-placed Aviron Bayonne. Read our match prediction below.
The Irish club are three points clear of second-placed Harlequins and five ahead of Stormers in third. A top two finish guarantees a team playing at home in the last 16. Leinster have a much better points difference than Stormers so it's looking good for a home tie.
Last weekend saw Leinster win at home to Stade Rochelais but only by a single point. It was their eighth successive victory.
All three of their pool games have been won. Their only away fixture produced a 23-15 win at Leicester Tigers.
Aviron Bayonne are yet to earn a point and have a points difference of -106.
Only 45 points have been scored by the Top 14 side in their three pool matches.
They were beaten 57-14 at Leicester last weekend. The Tigers are fifth in the pool, five points ahead of Bayonne. Even a win and a bonus point for the French club is unlikely to see them escape finishing bottom due to that appalling points difference.
We tip Leinster to win this match on a 17.5 handicap.
