My Prediction
Bordeaux Bègles by 12My, my, my... when it comes to Rugby, these battles usually get the blood pumping, but something tells me this one might be as enthralling as watching paint dry. We have Racing Metro 92 dueling with Bordeaux Bègles – a classic heroic underdog narrative against a heavyweight. Now, let's dissect this a tad, shall we?
Bordeaux Bègles comes to the match with a pretty impressive win-loss record of 14-5. They've been keeping their noses clean, swooping in some pretty satisfying wins like the recent one against Toulouse, 32-24. They're no slouch, these boys from Bordeaux.
On the other hand, we have Racing Metro 92, a team that even my grandma would notice is on a tight leash with a rather disheartening 7-11-1 season record. Not exactly the kind of numbers you'd put your faith in... or your money.
The history between these two is not very encouraging for our underdogs either. Bordeaux Bègles has been coming out on top more times than not, and the last three games were absolute heartbreaks for Racing Metro 92 fans.
To make this, even more, a David vs Goliath scenario, Bordeaux currently sits pretty at #2 on the Top 14 24/25 while Racing Metro is sulking in the #12 spot.
Now, I'm not a betting man... that's a lie. I lost that right after betting my car on a horse named 'Slow But Sure.' Let's just say - it was half-right. But if I were to share my nuggets of wisdom, I'd say don't hold your breath on a Racing upset here.
