Castres lost their opening game in Pool 2 of the European Rugby Champions Cup. They are fifth in the pool and this weekend are home to Edinburgh who are third in the table, five points ahead of them. Read our match prediction below.
The French club were beaten 34-14 at Gloucester last weekend. The match was level at 14-14 at the break but Castres were outplayed in the second half and unable to score any more points against the PREM Rugby side.
Castres are eighth in Top 14 with six wins and five defeats. Of those six wins, four have come on home soil with two losses. Four of their last five at home have been won, the only loss to Bordeaux Begles and that was only by a couple of points.
Edinburgh got their European Rugby Champions Cup campaign off to a winning start last weekend. They defeated RC Toulon 33-20 at home after leading by just a point at half-time. The Scottish club are 10th in this season's United Rugby Championship with two wins and three losses.
On the road this season, Edinburgh have lost all three of their away games with a -71 points difference.
We tip Castres to win this match on a -5.5 handicap.

Our Castres Olympique vs Edinburgh Rugby Prediction
Castres are playing catch-up in this pool after being beaten at Gloucester last weekend. They now have two home games to play with Bath being their next visitors. Their home form is good this season with four wins and they will be determined to get a victory this weekend.
Edinburgh battled well to beat RC Toulon at home last weekend. Their away form needs to be improved with no wins this season and one in the last seven. This is going to be a tough task for them and our Castres v Edinburgh prediction is Castres wins on a -5.5 handicap.
