The Bulls finished second on the URC table after winning 13 of their 18 matches. They then went on to host Benetton in the quarter-finals, where they won the match 30-23. The Bulls have won their last 5 matches in a row and their most recent loss was against Munster at home in April.
Leinster won 13 of their 18 matches in the pool stages but secured 1 fewer bonus point than the Bulls, putting them 3rd on the table. They hosted Ulster in the quarter-finals, where they comfortably won the match 43-20 to advance to the semis.
The two sides have played each other three times in the last 3 years. The Bulls won the only encounter at Loftus. The two fixtures that were played in Dublin ended with one in favour of the Bulls and the other in favour of Leinster. The most recent encounter between the two sides was won by Leinster 47-12 at home earlier this season.
Leinster are favourites to win the match and are trading at 1.53, while the Bulls are trading at 2.88. The handicap at the time of writing is Bulls [+4.5] at 1.95.
Loftus is one of the toughest stadiums in the world to win at away from home, however, Leinster have sent their full-strength squad as they will be looking to finally win some silverware after coming close on many occasions in the last 3 years. The Bulls should put up a massive fight and have the chance to cause a big upset.
Suggested Bet: Handicap, Bulls [+4.5] at 1.95
