Fourth placed Section Paloise are home to Bulls in their final match in European Rugby Champions Cup Pool 4. A win for the home side will guarantee qualification. Read our match prediction below.
The top four go into the knockout stages and just one qualification place remains with Bordeaux, Bristol and Northampton already in the last 16. Section Paloise lead fifth-placed Scarlets (away to Northampton this weekend) and Bulls by three points.
The French club boosted their qualification hopes with a win at Scarlets last weekend, scoring seven tries.
The home side are second in Top 14, just a point behind leaders Stade Toulousain. All seven of their home league games have been won this season but they lost to Northampton earlier in this pool.
A loss for Section Paloise would see them fail to qualify. Meanwhile a win for Bulls would see them climb off bottom spot and possibly qualify depending on how Scarlets get on at Northampton though a win for the visitors looks unlikely.
The South Africans have only earned two bonus points in this pool. Their one away game saw them lose 50-5 at Northampton. Last weekend saw them beaten 61-49 at home by Bristol, their seventh successive defeat.
We tip Section Paloise to win on a -8.5 handicap.
