Ninth-placed Stade Rochelais will host fifth-placed Castres Olympique in this Top 14 matchday 19 fixture on Saturday. The Yellow and Blacks will aim to close the gap on the top five positions in the table with a win over the Reds. Here is our prediction for the match.
Stade Rochelais are reeling with an ugly-looking losing streak going into this match. They lost their last match 22-17 away against 11th-placed Stade Francais. This result extended their losing streak to four matches in Top 14 and six in all competitions.
Also, they have struggled for results at home lately, losing their last two fixtures. The most recent was a 26-21 defeat to relegation-threatened Racing 92. Notably, despite their recent struggles, Ronan O’Gara’s side have been formidable opponents against Castres Olympique. They have won five of their last six home matches against the Castres-based side, all by nine-point winning margins or more.
Castres Olympique lost their last match — a Top 14 fixture — 21-17 against Montpellier. This result snapped an impressive six-match unbeaten run in all competitions, comprising five wins and a draw. Also, the loss to Montpellier ended their three-match unbeaten run on the road, which included two wins and a draw.
