Edinburgh are home to Aviron Bayonnais in their second match in Pool 3 of the European Rugby Challenge Cup. After the first set of matches, Edinburgh are bottom of the pool with the visitors in third place. Here’s our match prediction.
It was a tough opening game for Edinburgh as they lost 15-10 at Gloucester. They are seventh in the United Rugby Championship with three wins and four defeats. Away form is to blame for their low position, and they have the best home record in the league.
Three of their four games have been won, with the most recent seeing them beat Benetton 50-33. Their only home loss has been to leaders Leinster but only by two points.
Aviron Bayonnais are fifth in Top 14 with seven wins and four defeats. Last week saw them begin their Challenge Cup campaign with a 17-16 home win over Saracens. Away form has been a struggle for them in Top 14 this season with one win and four defeats.
Their only win came at Lyon but there have been some heavy defeats. Toulon and Section Paloise scored 90 points between them. They can't afford such a performance in this game and we tip Edinburgh to win on a -16 points handicap.
