Ospreys conclude their Challenge Cup pool-stage campaign, playing host to Montpellier HR in a top-of-table clash on Saturday. The two teams have booked their round-of-16 tickets, but will battle for the pool’s top spot. Can Ospreys leverage their home advantage to overcome in-form Montpellier HR? Here is our prediction.
Ospreys saw off Connacht Rugby by just three points in their Challenge Cup opener and defeated Montauban by an 11-point margin in their second match. Off the back of those back-to-back wins, they shipped 13 unanswered points in the first half and fell by four points (23–19) to Zebre the last time out.
The loss to Zebre left them second in Pool 1 with 11 points, four points behind Montpellier HR. Mark Jones’ men don't just need a win on Saturday, but also a bonus-point victory to stand a chance of winning the pool.
Montpellier HR have yet to taste defeat in this Challenge Cup campaign. They defeated Black Lion by 11 points, thrashed Zebre by a 24-point margin, and edged Connacht Rugby 33–31 in their most recent fixture.
The Rockroses have won seven of their last eight matches across all competitions. They have defeated Ospreys in their previous two Challenge Cup meetings, and suffered defeats in both of their trips to face the Welsh club.
