Bordeaux vs Munster Preview

Munster were superb last week in their away win over La Rochelle. While it may be tough to replicate that performance two weeks running, this Munster side has plenty of grit. There is value on the visitors in the handicap market.

These sides have never met before in a competitive fixture.

Bordeaux Form

Bordeaux are in fine form coming into this clash, particularly on home soil. They have cruised into the quarter-final stage and are favourites to advance to the semis.

Last week, in their last 16 clash, Bordeaux defeated Ulster 43-31 on home soil. It wasn’t their best performance, but they did enough to get the result.

With wins in their last three home games, the French club will be confident coming into this encounter. The hosts do play an exciting brand of rugby, which does land them in trouble from time to time, but mostly it is greatly to their benefit.

Bordeaux Injuries & Team News

Bordeaux are likely to pick a similar side to the one that featured last weekend. There is no time to rest players at the quarter-final stage.

Munster Form

Munster are always a threat even when they are not enjoying the best of seasons. The two-time Champions Cup winners will be looking for another upset after last week’s spectacular win.

Going into the last 16 clash against La Rochelle, Munster were huge underdogs. However, they came out as 25-24 victors away from home, largely thanks to Jack Crowley’s superb match-winning drop goal.

That is Munster’s second consecutive win away from home after they also defeated Connacht in the URC at the end of March. The hosts may be in good form, but if any side can upset the odds, it will be Munster.

The big news for Munster is that Alex Nankiveli has been cleared to play after his red card against Connacht was rescinded.

Verdict

Bordeaux v Munster

I am backing Munster to get within 11.5 points of Bordeaux. Don’t rule out an upset win.
