This Top 14 round nine fixture will see 10th-placed Castres Olympique clash with fourth-placed Bordeaux Begles on Saturday. Xavier Sadourny’s men will aim at returning to winning ways after last week's defeat against Clermont. Check out our prediction for the match below.
After a rocky start to the season, Castres Olympique bounced back strongly with three consecutive Top 14 victories. However, this impressive run ended last week as they crashed to their heaviest defeat of the season, falling 63-14 to Clermont.
Nevertheless, the Castres club will be confident of returning to winning ways in Saturday’s clash. They have enjoyed a terrific winning record at home since last season, sweeping 11 of their last 12 home fixtures. They have also won two of their most recent three home encounters with Bordeaux Begles.
Bordeaux Begles defeated Bayonne 41-12 in their last outing. Despite being outscored by two points in the second half, a 31-point first-half shutout ensured the Bordeaux club secured their third win in four Top 14 matches.
Nevertheless, their away record does not look good. Yannick Bru’s side have lost four of their last five Top 14 away matches (excluding last season’s final defeat to Stade Toulousain).
