10th-placed Montpellier HR will host second-placed Bordeaux Bègles in this Top 14 matchday 23 fixture on Sunday at the GGL Stadium. The Rockroses will aim to strengthen their bid for a playoff finish with a win over Les Girondins. Let's take you through our prediction for the match.

After two straight defeats, Montpellier HR returned to winning ways in their last match, defeating USA Perpignan 19-13 at home. This result marked their second win in their last five matches (L3). They have been largely inconsistent, losing six of their last nine matches. 

However, Joan Caudullo’s side will aim to close the gap on the playoff positions to just one point with a win on Sunday. They have won their last three home league matches, including their last three encounters against Bordeaux Bègles at the GGL Stadium.

Bordeaux Bègles’ hopes of a top-two finish are on the line heading into this match. A win could see them open a six-point gap over third-placed RC Toulon.

Notably, Yannick Bru’s side boast a stronger campaign this season than Montpellier HR. They defeated Stade Toulousain 35-18 in their last game to qualify for the Champions Cup final and have won seven of their last nine matches, including seven of their last nine away fixtures.
