Head to Head


Leinster have a commanding lead of 18 victories to none against Zebre.

Leinster Form


Leinster fell to a shock defeat in the semi-final of the European Rugby Championship last weekend, losing 34-37 to the Northampton Saints at home. 

Before that loss, Leinster had been in excellent touch in their last five home fixtures. They beat the Stormers 36-12, Cardiff 42-24, the Harlequins 62-0, the Glasgow Warriors 52-0, and Ulster 41-17. 

Leinster are first in the URC standings with 67 points from 16 matches. 

Leinster will be out to redeem themselves after their recent disappointing loss when they host a Zebre side they have beaten 18 times in a row. 

Leinster Team News & Injuries


Captain Caelen Doris picked up a shoulder injury during the match against the Northampton Saints and will undergo a shoulder procedure.  

Andrew Osbourne and Dan Sheehan have scored five tries each in the competition thus far.
Ross Byrne has scored 78 points for his club in the 2024/25 URC.

Zebre Form


Zebre played to a 25-all draw against Edinburgh at home before the break in the league fixtures.

Zebre have achieved mixed fortunes away from home lately. They lost 22-18 to the Cheethas, beat Ulster 15-14, and Edinburgh 22-17 before losing 35-34 to the Sharks and 63-24 to the Bulls. 

Zebre are 15th in the United Rugby Championship table with 29 points from 16 games.

Zebre look unlikely to get anything out of their match against Leinster, having yet to beat their Irish opponents, including eight in a row away from home. 

Zebre Team News & Injuries


Jacopo Trulla has scored six tries in this edition of the United Rugby Championship.

Giacomo Da Re has scored 56 points in the league this season.

Verdict

Leinster have a perfect winning record against Zebre and are tipped to cover the -26.5 handicap.
