WEEKEND GUIDE TO THE CHAMPIONS CUP
POOL ONE SARACENS v OYONNAX TODAY :1 pm, Allianz Park, LIVE Sky Sports 1
SARACENS are the only unbeaten team across Europe’s top leagues and will all but seal qualification with another win over Oyonnax. PREDICTION:Homewin
TOULOUSE v ULSTER TOMORROW :1 pm, St a de Ernest Wall on LIVE on Sky Sports 3
THE winner of this Franco-Irish tussle will go in search of one of the three second-place qualification spots. Ulster trounced Toulouse 38-0 last weekend but winning in France is an entirely different prospect. PREDICTION:Homewin
POOL TWO BORDEAUX v OSPREYS TODAY :5.15 pm, St a de Jacques Chaban-Delams, LIVE on Sky Sports 4
POOL-TOPPERS Ospreys will expect to clean up in France to put pressure on the rest of the group before a tough trip to Clermont in the new year. PREDICTION: Away win
CLERMONT v EXETER TOMORROW :3.15 pm, St a de Marcel Michel in LIVE on Sky Sports 3
EXETER enjoyed the best night in their history in beating Clermont. If they can eclipse that here, it will be one of the most remarkable results in European history. PREDICTION:Homewin
POOL THREE SCARLETS v GLASGOW TODAY :7.45 pm, Parcy Scarlets LIVE on BT Sport Europe
GLASGOW thrashed Scarlets last week with Taqele Naiyaravoro (right) scoring a wonderful hat-trick. They must do it all again though if they are to become the first Warriors team ever to reach the knockouts. Sean Lamont is recalled to the left wing for Glasgow to face his former club, while ex-Warrior DTH van der Merwe will frighten the visitors with his pace. PREDICTION: Away win
POOL FOUR LEICESTER v MUNSTER TOMORROW :5.15 pm, W el ford Road LIVE on BT Sport Europe
LEICESTER could go a long way to securing their knockout spot this week. With a five-point banker against Treviso to come, another win would put them clear and, having already dismantled the Irish, they’ll be looking for more of the same. Freddie Burns is back at fly-half but it’s flanker Brendon O’Connor (right) that may catch Eddie Jones’ eye. PREDICTION:Homewin
POOL FIVE BATH v WASPS TODAY :3.15 pm, The Rec LIVE on BT Sport Europe
BATH’S dramatic last-gasp win over Wasps last weekend has thrown the pool into utter chaos. Leinster are out and Toulon lie third but Bath need to win again to stay in the hunt. Jonathan Joseph versus Elliot Daly in the battle of the centres should excite Eddie Jones. Joe Launchbury and Dave Attwood go head-to-head once again from second row, but the flying All Black Charles Piutau could decide the destination of the points this afternoon. PREDICTION: Away win
