THE PREDICTION

Castres have a decent 7-8 record after 15 matches played in the Top 14 and have usually won the matches that matter, with a 31-21 victory over Bayonne last weekend a good example. Montpellier grabbed just their fourth win of what has been a deeply frustrating season with a 31-6 thrashing of Stade Francais last time out but they are very competitive even in defeat, with 11 bonus points to show for 16 matches played. This looks to be an interesting battle between an in-from Castres and their unpredictable visitors. The hosts look capable of winning this match by the odd penalty and can cover -3 in their current mentality here.
