Reigning Challenge Cup champions Montpellier travel to face 2025 Challenge Cup winners Bath in a blockbuster Champions Cup opener on Saturday. Montpellier have won four of their last six away matches and are likely to make this a difficult match for Bath, with our prediction reflecting that trend.
Bath’s two-match winning start to the Premiership Rugby season came to an end last Saturday when they faced a stern test against defending champions Northampton Saints. The Somerset-based club squandered a three-point lead at halftime and collapsed to a heavy 71–48 defeat to the Saints.
Johann van Graan’s team have now lost three of their last five matches dating back to last season and have failed to cover the handicap in their two victories during that run. They fell 19–10 to Montpellier in their most recent European meeting, in the 2021 Challenge Cup semi-final.
Montpellier qualified for the Champions Cup following their Challenge Cup triumph last season. They came off second best against Stade Francais Paris in Top 14 last weekend, losing 30–22, but have won three of their five matches this season.
Notably, the Rockroses have won four of their last six away matches, excluding their Top 14 final loss to Stade Toulousain (played at a neutral venue), and have covered the handicap in three of their last four defeats.
