THE PREDICTION
Premiership leaders Leicester Tigers put in an excellent performance to embarrass French giants Clermont Auvergne 10-29 on their own turf last Sunday, putting five tries past their hosts despite playing the last quarter of the match with 14 men. The win made it three in a row across all competitions and they will be confident of extending that at home, where they still own a 100% record. Travelling Clermont have lost each of their last eight on the road across all competitions but mostly by pretty fine margins. The hosts can be backed to win comfortably on Saturday but it could come closer than some expect, so taking Leicester to cover around -10 seems a reasonable concession.
