2025 losing finalists Northampton Saints are again in the knockout stages of the European Rugby Champions Cup. The last 16 sees the PREM Rugby side host Castres Olympique from Top 14. Who will reach the last eight? Read our match prediction below.
The winners will travel to either Bath or Saracens in the quarter-finals.
Northampton Saints are top of PREM Rugby and last season lost to Bordeaux Begles in the final of this competition. Those two clubs met again in this year's pool stage with the Top 14 side winning in France.
Saints won their other three pool games to finish second and be seeded fifth for the knockout stages. They won both of their home pool games scoring 93 points. The Saints have won eight of their last nine games and the last seven on home soil.
Castres Olympique finished third in their pool, winning two games but losing the same number. Both of their away fixtures in the pool stages were lost. They do struggle on the road with seven losses in Top 14 this season.
Five of their last seven away games have ended in defeat. They are eighth in Top 14, five points adrift of the play-offs.
We tip Northampton Saints to win on a -18.5 handicap.
