Momentum entering this match favors Montpellier. The hosts have won four straight matches, finding consistency in both structure and execution as their season has progressed. That run has helped Montpellier climb the table and reinforce confidence ahead of another physical domestic test.
Castres arrives with solid but less consistent form, having won three of its last five games, and will look to disrupt Montpellier’s rhythm by leaning on defensive pressure and territorial control.
With Septeo Stadium hosting the latest chapter of this rivalry, both sides bring clear objectives. Montpellier aims to extend its winning streak and tip the recent balance further in its favor, while Castres seeks to reclaim momentum in a matchup that has swung back and forth over recent seasons.
