Bordeaux Bègles host Castres Olympique in this Top 14 Round 17 fixture on Saturday at the Stade Chaban-Delmas. Les Girondins are third in the standings with 45 points, while Castres Olympique are seventh on 41 points. Check out our prediction for the match below.
After a shock five-point loss at home to Stade Francais, Bordeaux Begles bounced back in their last outing, defeating bottom-placed Montauban 31–16. That result saw them rack up four double-digit victories in five matches across all competitions.
Notably, Yannick Bru’s side remain formidable at home. They come into this fixture with four wins from their last five games at Stade Chaban-Delmas, all of which by blowout margins.
Castres Olympique made it three wins on the bounce across all competitions after scraping past Clermont 28–23 in their last Top 14 outing. However, this apparent resurgence will be put to a stern test against Bordeaux Bègles on Saturday.
They have lost each of their last three meetings with Bordeaux Bègles. Moreover, all of their last six trips to face the Bordeaux-based outfit have ended in defeat.
