Bordeaux Begles will look to strengthen their bid for a top-two finish when they host Montpellier HR in this Top 14 Round 22 clash on Saturday. Les Girondins are fifth in the standings with 59 points, while the Rockroses sit third with 61 points. Let's get into our prediction for the game.
After four straight wins, including back-to-back Champions Cup knockout victories that catapult them into the last four of the competition, Bordeaux Begles finally fell last week, losing away to Stade Rochelais at Stade Marcel-Deflandre in Top 14. They trailed in both halves by thumping margins, eventually collapsing to a heavy 45–15 defeat to the hosts.
Last week’s result left Yannick Bru’s side five points adrift and five places outside the semi-final spots in the standings. A win could see them narrow the gap to the top two to just one point. They have won eight of their 10 Top 14 home matches this season, most of which by wide margins.
After back-to-back Challenge Cup knockout victories, Montpellier HR continued their winning ways on the domestic scene, defeating USA Perpignan 42–31 last week. That win saw the Bleu and Whites close the gap to the top-two to just three points, with another victory likely to catapult them into the semi-final places.
However, Joan Caudullo’s side have been unconvincing on the road. They have lost six of their 10 Top 14 away matches this season (W3, D1) and have suffered defeats in each of their last five Top 14 visits to Bordeaux Begles.
