Bulls vs Munster Predictions - Bulls to extend unbeaten home record

My best bet is for Munster to get within that handicap.

Munster beat the Bulls 31-17 last season at home.

The Bulls are currently third on the URC table with nine wins from 13 games. They are four points off Glasgow in second and nine off Leinster at the top.

With five games remaining, the Bulls can seriously challenge for a top two finish, but they will need to get a result this weekend. They do still have a home fixture against Glasgow to come in a few weeks.

Last week the Bulls were completely outplayed in the quarterfinal of the Champions Cup, losing 59-22 away to Northampton. Before that, they thrashed Lyon at home, lost away to Leinster and beat the Stormers and Dragons. 

This is a big game for the Bulls and victory will put them in control of a top three finish. Jake White has selected his strongest available outfit.

Munster made a slow start to the season but have bounced back well to win eight of their 13 games. They are currently placed fourth on the table, just two points off the Bulls.

As defending champions, Munster were always going to pull it together at some point. Since losing to Northampton in the Champions Cup late in January, Munster have won four of their five matches.

Their only defeat in that span was against Northampton by 10 points. In the URC, Munster beat Scarlets away, Zebre at home, Ospreys away and Munster at home.

After a week break due to no European action, Munster could travel to South Africa with little fatigue. They should be putting out a very strong side in Pretoria.
