Bordeaux v Toulouse Prediction & Best Bet
Prediction: Bordeaux 23-22 Toulouse
Bordeaux are having an excellent season and though they trail in the Top-14 have every chance of a win on Sunday.
Toulouse are a strong side regardless of of starting team but has a few injury issues to contend with at the weekend.
I’m expecting a thriller and it could go either way but I favour Bordeaux due to Toulouse's injury issues.
