Leicester Tigers will travel to Toulouse with minimal outside expectations but Tigers legend and Premier Sports pundit Andy Goode believes they will fancy their chances of springing an upset on the reigning Investec Champions Cup holders.
According to Goode the Tigers have the firepower and tactical nous to cause an upset against the reigning champions and he expects a thrilling encounter between the two teams.
Goode pointed out that while Toulouse are riding high after their recent success the Tigers have been quietly gathering momentum and could pose a significant threat to the French side.
The Tigers have been working tirelessly to improve their game and have made some significant signings in the off-season which could give them the edge they need to take down the reigning champions.
Goode also highlighted the importance of the Tigers backline which he believes has the potential to be one of the most exciting in the competition.
With the likes of other top players in their squad the Tigers are looking to make a statement in the Champions Cup and a win against Toulouse would be a massive boost to their campaign.
While the odds may be stacked against them the Tigers will be looking to draw inspiration from their past successes and use their underdog status to their advantage.
As the teams prepare to face off in what promises to be an epic battle Goode is confident that the Tigers will give it their all and make the most of their opportunity to take on the best in the business.
The stage is set for a thrilling encounter between two of the biggest names in European rugby and fans will be eagerly anticipating the clash between the Tigers and Toulouse.
