William Hill have tipped the Tigers in Saturday's big game, this despite Munster's impressive wins over Stade Francais and Castres to reach the final, coach Declan Kidney's Munstermen priced 13/10 for a win which would in no means be regarded as a shock, with two of the top dogs in club rugby locking horns in what is set to be a classic in front of a record breaking crowd.

In the handicap market, Munster have been given a four-point head start, both sides priced 10/11 as Leicester aim to put behind them last weekend's home defeat to Bristol - their first home loss for more than four years.

A 1-5 point win for Leicester is the forecast scoreline at the betting offices at 4/1, with a 6-10 point triumph next in at 9/2. A Munster victory by 1-5 points comes in third-favourite at 5/1, with both forward packs set to have a massive say on proceedings.

Leicester started the competition back in September as 9-4 favourites to retain their European crown, Munster then 7/1 third-favourites behind the side they knocked out at the quarter-final stage - Stade Francais.
