Leinster are top of pool 2 in the European Rugby Champions Cup. Their final pool fixture sees them host Bath who are third in the table. Can Leinster win the group? Here’s our match prediction.

The home side are three points clear of Stade Rochelais who travel to Benetton in their final fixture. If they win in Italy then that will put the pressure on Leinster to win this match to top the pool. They are already guaranteed a top two finish after wins over Bristol, Clermont and Stade Rochelais. That means they will have a home draw in the last 16.

Leinster are also top of the United Rugby Championship with a 100% record after nine games. They have won their last 12 matches, last losing in the 2023-24 United Rugby Championship play-offs.

Bath are top of the English Premiership but yet to confirm their place in the knockout stages of this competition. A win will do so but a loss will put them in danger of not qualifying, especially if Benetton were to win.

They lost their first two matches in this pool but beat Clermont at home last weekend to boost their qualification chances.

We tip Leinster to continue their winning run and beat Bath and defy a -18 points handicap.

Our Leinster vs Bath Rugby Prediction

Leinster have won this pool already after three straight wins with only 33 points, half the number Bath have conceded. They will still want to win this match to ensure a top two finish and a home draw in the last 16. 

Bath can qualify for the knockout stages with a win in this match. That looks unlikely with Leinster on a long winning streak. Our Leinster v Bath Rugby prediction is Leinster to win on a -14 points handicap.

Prediction :

 

Leinster to win on a -18 points handiicap
