Bordeaux square off against Racing 92 this Sunday in the second of the French Top 14's quarter-finals.

French Top 14

The second of this weekend’s Top 14 play-offs will see a Bordeaux Begles side that spent a large portion of the regular season near the summit of the Top 14 ladder.

They’ll be facing off against a Racing outfit that had a rather poor start to the campaign but came good during the latter parts of the regular season.

To Win Match (80 Mins)
Bordeaux 5/10 | Draw 20/1 | Racing 7/4

The wheels have come off somewhat for the Begles during the latter stages of the regular season with this weekend’s hosts only managing two wins from their last seven Top 14 games. The worst of these defeats came last weekend where they went down 22-15 to minnows Perpignan.

While Bordeaux have struggled for results in recent weeks, Racing have been pretty tidy winning five of their last seven games. Their most recent victory came last weekend where they beat Toulon 21-16 in Paris.

The two sides met twice during the regular season with Racing winning the first encounter 13-16 while Bordeaux got their revenge in the second fixtures as they ran out comfortable 14-37 victors at the Paris La Defense.

Verdict: Racing 7/4

I reckon we’ll see a Racing win here. Bordeaux have really struggled over the past couple months and they look a side on the wane.
