Clermont vs Bordeaux
Clermont welcome Bordeaux to their fortress Stade Marcel-Michelin for this early kick off match in the Top 14. The home side are currently in sixth spot with 19 points while the visitors are sitting pretty in second spot with 28 points. Clermont are unbeaten in their four home matches and will be looking to make it five from five. The fact that they do not have too many international players in the team will work in their favour as Bordeaux will lose a number of key players due to the international window. The home side will again be looking to seasoned Argentina flyhalf Benjamín Urdapilleta to ignite their potent backline alongside Captain Baptiste Jauneau.
TIP: The home side have often flattered to deceive on the big occasion and this will be an ideal opportunity to showcase their skill against one of the top teams in Europe. Bordeaux on the other hand will be hard pressed to find replacements that can fill the boots of stars like Damian Penaud and Louis Bielle-Biarrey. These two players are often the heartbeat of their team’s counter attacking game plan. The bookies have Clermont as favorites and I am also backing them for the win. The best odds on this bet are as follows: Tictacbets 1.47, SoccerShop 1.47 and Bettabets 1.47

- Clermont have won just one of the last seven matches between the sides.
Latest results for both teams
Clermont lost 36-6 in their last match against Stade Francais while Bordeaux beat Pau 19-6 in their last match.
PREDICTION
This match should produce plenty of tries as both team love running the ball and can be deadly on any turnover possession. Clermont have the likes of Alivereti Raka and Delguy on the wings who know their way to the tryline especially if they are given any space. The Bordeaux pack will be targeting the home side at scrum time as this can be a weakness for Clermont. The experience of Urdapilleta and Jauneau could prove to be the difference in the match. If the home side can gain dominance in the forwards or even parity then I predict a Clermont win by 8 points.

Sports crazy fan that follows all major sport but the game with the oval ball is my real passion. Was an age level rugby coach and a huge supporter of the Springboks and diehard Liverpool man. I’m an experienced punter and sports writer whose predictions/tips are sure to stir up the emotions. I love the occasional wager on the underdog.
