Who will win – Bordeaux or Bath?
Bordeaux will be Bath’s toughest test of the season. The tournament favourites have some of the best attacking statistics of the Champions Cup this season and can rely on the likes of Matthieu Jalibert and Louis Bielle-Biarrey to cause their opponents problems.
However, Bath will be confident of an upset in their first semi-final appearance since 2006. They welcome back scrum half Ben Spencer to the starting line-up, but Max Ojomoh, Cameron Redpath and wing Joe Cokanasiga are all absent for the match in France.
Who will the winners play in the final?
The winners of the tie will already know their final opponent, with Leinster taking on Toulon in the first semi-final on Saturday, 2 May. The winners will meet in the Champions Cup final in Bilbao to determine the overall winner of the tournament.
