Leinster vs Bath Preview & Tips


It is difficult to see anything other than a very convincing Leinster win. They are in top form and at home while Bath have lost their last nine matches. I’m backing the hosts to win by more than 33 points.

  • Leinster have won 6 of their last 7 matches.

  • Bath have lost their last 9 matches.

Head to Head


Leinster lead Bath 9-2 in their 11 previous matches. They last met in 2015 where Leinster won 42-15 at home.

Leinster Form


Leinster have largely been in cruise control this season thus far and it isn’t expected to change at home to Bath. The Irish giants are regulars in the latter stages of the Champions Cup and should be again this season.

Leinster’s only defeat came in a surprise 20-10 home loss to rivals Ulster. They did bounce back to beat another Irish side this past weekend as they won 47-19 at home to Connacht.

The four-time European champions top the United Rugby Championship table early on but their focus will largely lay on the European doorstep this season.

Leinster Team News


Leinster may be confident enough to rest players for the challenges ahead. They face far tougher opposition next weekend.

Bath Form


Bath have made a shocking start to the season and find themselves bottom of the Rugby Premiership table. With no wins and just four points after nine matches, they are fighting early relegation trouble.

A 31-17 defeat at Harlequins was followed by a home 27-17 loss to Wasps. It was only getting worse from there as Bath lost 40-24 at table topping Leicester before being smashed 71-10 at Gloucester.

Perhaps Bath’s best performance came at home to Exeter, a match they still lost 23-16. Last week they went down 40-19 at Northampton.

Bath Team News


It is tough to see what Bath will do here. Their focus will be on surviving in the Rugby Premiership but Europe offers them a chance for a fresh start. They should be close to full strength as they look to avoid a hammering.
