Leinster vs Munster Predictions - Leinster to dominate Irish derby
The upcoming clash between Leinster and Munster is heating up, with Leinster favored to win and cover the -15.5 handicap despite their shaky start, losing two out of three. Notably, Leinster has a stronger side with international players back, and they won their last game convincingly against the Sharks. Munster remains unbeaten in the URC but faced narrow victories in recent games. Leinster's winning streak against Munster last season and their recent form suggest they may have the upper hand.
- Leinster lost 2 of 3 initial games; international players return.
- Munster remains unbeaten, narrowly winning recent games.

Leinster vs Munster Predictions
While Leinster have lost two of their first three games, the defeats can be written off as they were played with a far weaker side. Munster on the other hand has three wins, the last two by three and one point. I am backing Leinster to win and cover the -15.5 handicap.

Head to Head
Leinster did the double on Munster last season, winning 28-7 away and 26-12 at home.
Leinster Form
Leinster come into this game having lost two of their opening three matches. Those two defeats were both in South Africa.
In round one, Leinster lost 35-0 to the Stormers before going down 39-31 to the Bulls a week later. Leinster were without their B+I Lions players for those games.
International players returned last weekend, and Leinster looked far better, beating the Sharks 31-5 at home. This weekend they will want another home success against their biggest rivals.
Leinster Injuries & Team News
Leinster will have a similar side out to last weekend, perhaps with two or three changes.
Munster Form
Munster are one of only two unbeaten teams in the URC after three rounds. It has been a strong start for the Irish side, quite to the contrary of their starts in recent seasons.
Munster beat Scarlets 34-21 away in round one before just getting over the line 23-20 against Cardiff at home a week later. Another close call came last weekend as Munster beat Edinburgh 20-19 at home.
While they have three wins, it has not been the toughest start for Munster, and they have struggled in the last two. They will need vast improvement to challenge a strong Leinster outfit.
Munster Injuries & Team News
Munster will almost certainly look to make a few changes after two tough weeks in the URC.

Leinster are tipped to cover the -15.5 handicap against Munster.
