These two clubs have twice met in the final of the European Rugby Champions Cup. This time they meet in Pool 3 with second-placed Leinster playing hosts to Stade Rochelais who fourth, four points behind them. Read our match prediction below.
Stade Rochelais won both the finals played in 2022 and 2023.
Since then, Leinster have won three in a row against the French club, all in this competition.
Leinster are only behind leaders Stormers on points difference. Qualification for the last 16 can be confirmed with a win this weekend as they are nine points above fifth place. They have had wins at home to Harlequins and away at Leicester Tigers.
A win here will make it eight straight victories for Leinster. They have scored 171 points in their last four home games. Leinster are fifth in the United Rugby Championship and are six points behind leaders Stormers.
Stade Rochelais are in the final qualifying position, five points clear of Leicester Tigers who they beat at home in their opening pool match. The French club were then beaten away at Stormers. Eight of their last nine away games have been lost.
We tip Leinster to again beat Stade Rochelais and cover a -15.5 points handicap.
