BATH v RACING 92 – Click here to bet
Bath sit 2nd in Pool 2 having won both of their first Champions Cup matches of the season. They have been involved in the Gallagher Premiership of late and beat Gloucester 17-10 at home last weekend.
Racing 92 sit 5th in Pool 2 and have lost both of their matches. They have been playing in the Top 14 league (currently topping the log) and claimed a 34-30 victory against Castres at home last weekend.
Handicap: Bath -3.5
Suggested Bet: Racing 92 win at 13/8
The money has come for the visitors with the opening line -7.5 Bath. Racing let themselves down in the 1st 2 rounds and I expect a bounce back.

LA ROCHELLE v LEICESTER – Click here to bet
Sitting at 5th in Pool 4 is defending champions La Rochelle. They have lost both of their first matches and their most recent action has been in the Top 14 league where they beat Pau 20-29 in an away game in their last start.
The Leicester Tigers sit 2nd in Pool 4 level on points with outright favourites, Leinster. They have won both of their first matches and have most recently been involved in the Gallagher Premiership and they beat Saracens 19-10 at home last weekend.
Handicap: La Rochelle -14.5
Suggested Bet: Winning margin La Rochelle by 8-14 points inclusive at 26/10
This should be a great game and while I think La Rochelle win it I do not expect it to be easy and will take a speculative stab at the winning margin.
BORDEAUX v SARACENS – Click here to bet
Bordeaux top Pool 1 having won both of their matches. They have been performing well in their Top 14 games having won all of their last 5 matches. Last weekend they beat Bayonne by a single point on home ground.
Sitting at 4th in Pool 1 we have the Saracens who have won 1 out of their 2 Champions Cup matches. They lost 19-10 at Leicester last weekend in the Gallagher Premiership fixtures.
Handicap: Bordeaux -7.5
Suggested Bet: Handicap Bordeaux -7.5 at 10/11
Saracens look out of sorts at the moment and I think Bordeaux will draw clear in the 2nd half for a comfortable win.
