Montpellier Herault Rugby vs Union Bordeaux Begles Prediction & Betting Tips - Top 14

Ninth-placed Montpellier look to get back into winning ways on home soil. They are home to Bordeaux Begles who are fifth in Top 14, six points behind leaders Stade Toulousain. Read our match prediction below.

Last weekend saw Montpellier win 28-0 at struggling USA Perpignan. That was a welcome win after losing at Stade Francais Paris and being beaten at home 9-7 by Clermont. Montpellier begin the weekend just two points behind the play-off positions.

They have won three of their five home league games this season. Three in a row had been won before the loss to Clermont. That included getting a home victory over Top 14 leaders Stade Toulousain.

Bordeaux Begles need to bounce back from last weekend's home loss to Section Paloise. They lost that game by just a single point. Only four points separate them from the second place that would take them straight into the play-off semi-finals.

Bordeaux have won six of their ten league games and two out of five on the road.  They lost their first three away league games but have won the last two. Before the narrow defeat last week, the Begles had won three successive league fixtures. 

This looks like being a close game and we tip an away win.
