Bordeaux Begles look to continue their impressive start to the European Rugby Champions Cup. They won their opening match in Pool 1 and now travel to Ulster who had a heavy loss in their first match. Read our match prediction.
The Begles are third in the pool behind Stade Toulousain and Sharks after the opening weekend. All of the top three teams in the group won their opening game and earned a bonus point. Bordeaux had a convincing home victory over Leicester Tigers, winning 42-28.
They are second in Top 14 this season with eight wins and three losses. On the road, they have won two and lost three with 128 points scored. Last season saw them reach the quarter-finals losing at home to Harlequins in a 42-41 thriller.
Ulster went to France last week and returned home after conceding 61 points at Stade Toulousain. They are struggling this season and are tenth in the United Rugby Championship with three wins and four defeats.
Three of their four home games have been won but this is a tough one. Their last three matches have all ended in defeat and another loss looks on its way here. We tip Bordeaux to win on a -10 points handicap.
