THE PREDICTION
Castres have been vastly impressive this season in the Top 14, with eight wins from 14 matches played after a superb 31-30 victory at home to La Rochelle last Sunday. They have won each of their last three Top 14 matches and look a solid play-off contender at the halfway stage at the expense of teams like their next opponents. Stade Francais did grab their second Top 14 match in a row last Saturday with a 27-17 victory at home to joint-bottom Perpignan but four defeats from their last six matched across all competitions including on the road at Biarritz and Pau does not look form enough to break fortress Castres at home. The hosts have kept it tight in recent fixtures, even in defeat, so taking them to cover -4 seems a reasonable concession here.
