Our 2020 European Rugby Champions Cup betting preview foresees a Leinster title win

Ireland’s Leinster currently stands the best chance of winning the 2020 European Rugby Champions Cup on Unibet Sportsbook. Fortunately, they have a good record in the competition to back up their winning chances. Firstly, together with Toulouse, Leinster have the most titles in the competition with four wins to their name. Additionally, having finished as runners up last year, they’ll be looking to step up by claiming the 2020 title. According to our 2020 European Rugby Champions Cup betting preview, they can achieve this with odds at 2.38. So far in the season, they’re proving to be strong competitors with impressive team statistics. According to the online sportsbook news in Ireland, they’re among the top teams in scoring the most tries, points and conversions.

Exeter on track to earn their first European Rugby Champions Cup title

According to the online sportsbook sites in Ireland, Exeter are second-favourites for the 2020 European Rugby Champions Cup win. In previous competitions, they’ve been criticised for failing to win any titles in the European competition despite their domestic league success. However, with promising Unibet Sportsbook odds of winning at 4.50 at Unibet, they stand a good chance to silence their critics. Fortunately, they’re on the right path towards claiming their first victory in the European competition. In the pool stages, they topped their pool with an impressive five wins, one draw and no losses. Additionally, one of the players that are a must-watch from the Exeter lineup is Sam Simmonds. The back-row forward has been instrumental in Exeter’s wins so far and is among the competition’s top try and points scorers.

Saracens mustn’t crack under pressure as they look to defend their 2019 win

The 2019 European Rugby Champions Cup winners are currently fourth favourites to claim the 2020 win. Unforurtunaltey, it’s not the position their fans desired to see on Unibet Sportsbook. However, our 2020 European Rugby Champions Cup betting preview say they can still win with odds at 9.00. Additionally, a European Rugby Champions Cup will be crucial following their 2019/20 Premiership Rugby relegation. Fortunately, having secured a spot at the 2020 European Rugby Champions Cup, they make amends for the domestic league setback.

Northampton Saints among the underdogs looking to lift the 2020 trophy

According to our 2020 European Rugby Champions Cup betting preview, Northampton Saints have the lowest odds of winning. Consequently, with odds of winning at 34.00, they are a risky bet on Unibet Sportsbook. For more information on the bookmaker to bet on Northampton Saints, be sure to read about Unibet Sportsbook. According to our 2020 European Rugby Champions Cup betting preview, the Saint’s are no strangers to success in the competition. However, they were last victorious in the Heineken Cup era after claiming the 1999/20 win. Unfortunately, with low chances of winning this time around, they’re more likely to continue their trophyless run.
