Bordeaux vs Munster Predictions
Bordeaux are favourites but Munster have a very good side, one certainly capable of challenging in France. I do think this will be tight, but Bordeaux are likely victors after a grueling game for Munster last weekend. However, I am backing the visitors to get withing the 11.5 handicap.

Head to Head
This is the first meeting between these two sides.
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.
Munster Injuries & Team News
The big news for Munster is that Alex Nankiveli has been cleared to play after his red card against Connacht was rescinded.
Verdict
I am backing Munster to get within 11.5 points of Bordeaux. Don’t rule out an upset win.
