Leinster had a disappointing result in their last match, suffering 39-31 against the Bulls. In this match, they lost in the first half 22-10, and all their efforts to improve in the second half weren’t enough to win the game. They have now lost their two matches this season, suffering defeats against the Stormers and the Bulls in their last game. On the other hand, Leinster have been playing exceptionally well at home, having won their previous three home games. Notably, they have achieved the lowest points total of 32 and their highest points conceded of 21, illustrating their best performance at home and their home advantage.

The Sharks settled for a 17-17 draw in their last outing against the Dragons. In this match, the Sharks won the first half 14-17. Unfortunately, they failed to maintain the lead, giving their opponent a chance for a draw after failing to pick up any points in the second half. This team has won three times, drawn once, and lost once in their last five games. Playing away has been disappointing, remaining winless in their previous six away games. Moreover, 19 is the highest point they have earned, and they failed to get a point in one of the away games.

Sharks will go again with the same team update from the last game and see if they can get a win here, following their previous match draw against the Dragon. The bench players will remain Eduan Swart, Cameron Dawson, Cebo Dlamini, Bathobele Hlekani, Nick Hatton, Ross Braude, Francois Venter, and Hakeem Kunene.

Leinster vs Sharks Match Prediction
No doubt Leinster are the clear favourites in this game, and I don’t see anything stopping them from recording a massive victory here. Leinster have won five of their last seven games, while the Sharks have been unable to win in seven of their last ten matches, with six losses and one draw. Moreover, the two teams have only met five times, with Leinster dominating with four wins over the Sharks. Lastly, both teams' last two head-to-head games have seen an odd scoreline, so I hope for the same here as well.
Our match prediction: Handicap (-27.5) for Leinster for a coefficient of 1.90 in the Bet365 bookmaker.
Our betting tip: Leinster will win by an 8-14 margin here for a coefficient of 8.00 in the 1xbet bookmaker.
Our final betting tip: an even scoreline for a coefficient of 1.85 in the Betway bookmaker.
