Head to Head


The Lions lead the head to head 4-1 against the French opponents in their last 6 fixtures with 1 draw. Their most recent encounter last December saw the Lions win 35-14 at away.

Montpellier Form


Montpellier have been in good form but suffered a crushing 42-6 defeat at Exeter Chiefs last week.

The French outfit, who are third in France's Top 14, were missing some key players for that clash. Prior to last weeks European opener, Montpellier had won their last five matches.

That run included wins over Castres, Stade Francais, Lyon and Perpignan.

Montpellier Team News


Montpellier were missing a number of players last week due to Covid-19. There could be a return for a few players including World Cup winning flyhalf, Handre Pollard. 

Leinster Form


The Lions have been in impressive form and are currently top of United Rugby Championship.

They hosted Bath last week and came away with a convincing 45-20 victory. The Irish outfit scored five tries to one to secure a bonus point win.

That was preceded by a home win against Connacht in the United Rugby Championship

Leinster Team News


The Lions have a significant number of positive Covid-19 cases in their ranks and are awaiting results of PCR tests carried out before making any announcement of team news.

Verdict

Leinster have dominated this fixture over the years and are in great form. There is still doubt over a number of Montpellier's senior players so a Leinster win is the bet.
