We take a look at the Investec Champions Cup Final between Leinster and Toulouse taking place at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London on Saturday and suggest a bet in the game.
LEINSTER
Leinster overcame Northampton 20-17 in their semi-final match, a game where they started double digit favourites. They made shorter work of La Rochelle in the quarter-final winning 40-13 in Dublin and also in Dublin in the Round of 16 it was Leinster winning 36-22.
Leinster were away to Ulster in the URC last week going down 23-21 and the week before that they hammered Ospreys 61-14 at home.
TOULOUSE
Toulouse beat Racing 92, 31-7 in their Round of 16 match before a home clash against Exeter saw them come through 64-26. They were given some cheek by Harlequins, but came from behind to beat them 38-26 to book their spot in the last two.
Toulouse were away to Montpellier in the Top 14 last week, winning 29-22 and the week before that they made short work of beating Stade Francais 49-18 at home.
Head-to-Head
These sides met in the 2023 Tournament with Leinster winning 41-22 and Leinster have won the last 4 meetings between the sides.

VERDICT
This game should be every bit as close as the betting suggests, but as good a team as Leinster are I think they are going to find Toulouse pack too many guns for them over the 80 minutes.
Suggested Bet: Toulouse win at 21/20
