Pool 3 of the European Rugby Champions Cup gets underway this weekend. Stade Rochelais won this competition in both 2022 and 2023 and begin their 2025-26 campaign with a home game against Leicester Tigers. Time for our match prediction.
Also in Pool 3 are Aviron Bayonne, Harlequins, Leinster and Stormers. The top four in the table.go into the knockout stages. Both of these clubs lost in the last 16 of the 2024-25 European Rugby Champions Cup.
Stade Rochelais are currently tenth in Top 14 but only three points adrift of a play-off position. They have won four of their five home league games this season. Their only home league loss was to Castres Olympique.
Leicester Tigers are fourth in PREM Rugby with 21 points. They have won four of their six league games, being defeated in the other two. Their most recent league fixture saw them win at bottom-of-the-table Newcastle Red Bulls.
That was their third straight win but the other two victories had both come on home soil. The win at Newcastle Red Bulls is their only away league win of the season. They had previously lost to Bristol and Northampton Saints, conceding 74 points.
We tip Stade Rochelais to get the win on a -19.5 handicap.
