THE PREDICTION

Montpellier went into the international break a side on the up and up with a 27-31 victory at Stade Francais their third-straight victory and their second in a row on the road, with both coming in Paris after a stunning 21-32 result at Racing this time last month. They have been closely defeated by Toulouse, Bordeaux and Clermont so far this season with a couple of points all they needed to be genuine title-contenders but it will be fascinating to see how they fare over the next month or so. Travelling Castres are comfortably mid-table with five wins, four defeats and a draw so far from 10 matches played but each of those defeats has come on the road and that looks fairly convincing evidence for a home win here by some margin. Take the hosts to cover -7 here in front of fans with burgeoning hopes for a play-off run.
