Castres are fifth in Top 14 and their penultimate league game sees them host Aviron Bayonne. The visitors are one place and six points above Castres. Can The Sky Blues and Whites get an away win? Read our match prediction.
With just two games to play, Castres are in the play-offs but only four points clear of seventh-placed Clermont. They won a vital home game against Clermont last weekend and needed that win after losing their previous couple of league fixtures away to the top two in the table.
Home form has been the main reason for their success this season. 11 of their 12 home league fixtures have been won this season. Five in a row have been won since their only home loss to Bordeaux last December.
Aviron Bayonne are fourth in the table and ten points above seventh place. They are nine points adrift of second place and finishing in the top two would take them into the play-off semi-finals. Their most recent league fixture saw them get a 38-32 home win over bottom-of-the-table Vannes.
On their travels, Bayonne have only won two out of 12 league games with nine losses and the last match at Racing was drawn. We tip Castres to win on a -6 points handicap.

Our Castres Olympique vs Aviron Bayonne Prediction
Castres are close to confirming their place in the end-of-season play-offs. Beating Bayonne at home would greatly help, especially if they could earn a bonus point too. With an awkward away game at Stade Francais Paris to come, a win here is vital for Castres.
Aviron Bayonne are almost certain to qualify but their away form continues to be poor. This could be close but our prediction for Castres Olympique v Aviron Bayonne is Castres Olympique to win on a -6 points handicap.
Prediction :
Castres Olympique to win on a -6 points handicap
