The European domestic leagues take a break this weekend (9, 10, 11 January 2025) as teams meet in the European Champions Cup this weekend and next. That will also conclude the group stage.

There are fixtures throughout the weekend with two games on Friday, six on Saturday and four on Sunday.

Those that started well in the first two weeks of the Champions Cup will face far less pressure while some teams are in must-win situations if they want to stand a chance to progress next weekend.

The below odds are correct as of 6 January 2026. We have used SuperSportbet for out odds.

Friday, 9 January 2026

This should be a good contest with Castres generally quite solid at home but Bath are determined to go well in Europe this season. Bath are favourites at 1.28 to with the hosts available at 3.75. The handicap is set at 8.5 points and pays 1.90 either way.

Preview (available closer to kick off)

Saturday, 10 January 2026

Bulls vs Bristol

Bulls are huge favourites with the handicap set at 16.5. Both will pay 1.90 to cover while Bristol are given little chance at 7.00 to win.

Clermont vs Glasgow

Glasgow are favourites away from home with a -8.5 handicap. Clermont will pay 1.90 to get within that margin or 3.75 to win.

Preview (available closer to the time)

Leinster vs La Rochelle

Leinster are always tough to beat at home, and La Rochelle are still finding their feet this season. The bookies have the handicap at 16.5 in the hosts favour.

Preview (available closer to the time)

Sale Sharks vs Sharks

They share a name in the Sharks but whether it is a battle worth watching, remains to be seen. Sale are huge favourites with the handicap set at 17.5 points.

Preview (available closer to the time)

Leicester vs Bayonne

Bayonne have struggled this season, and it can be seen with the Tigers handed a mammoth -30.5 handicap. It's a tough one to back as Bayonne could just click on the day given their strong squad.

Preview (available closer to the time)

Scarlets vs Pau

Scarlets are favourites at home with the handicap set at 8.5 at this point, it is almost certainly going to change once teams are announced.
