Seventh-placed Montpellier look to continue their strong home form. This weekend sees the Rockroses host Stade Francais Paris who are third in Top 14 but often struggle on their travels. Read our match prediction below.

Montpellier are only a point behind the play-offs. Last weekend saw the Blue and Whites lead at RC Toulon but ended up losing by three points. Seven of their 15 league games this season have been won and six came on home soil.

Their last home league fixture produced an impressive 62-22 win over Aviron Bayonne. That was their third successive home victory in Top 14. Three of the last five have seen them score at least 30 points.

Stade Francais Paris begin this set of fixtures only four points behind the top two. The Pink Soldiers have won eight league games this season but just two of those have come on their travels with six away losses.

They had a good away win last week though, winning 33-28 at Bordeaux Begles. Before that though, they had lost four successive away league games. Only one of their last four matches has ended in defeat, an away loss at Ulster in the European Challenge Cup. 

We tip Montpellier to win on a -7.5 handicap.
