Montpellier will host Gloucester in this 2024-25 European Rugby Challenge Cup round-of-16 fixture on Saturday. The winner of this match will face either Section Paloise or Bath in the last-8. Can the Rockroses edge out Cherry and Whites to qualify for the quarterfinals? Let's take you through our prediction for the match.
After a narrow 40-38 away defeat to Section Paloise, Montpellier returned to winning ways in their last match, edging out Stade Francais Paris 38-32 on the domestic scene. This result saw the team secure their second league victory in the last six matches (L4).
Notably, Joan Caudullo's side have been inconsistent on the domestic scene recently but remains formidable in the continent. They have won their four European Rugby Challenge Cup fixtures, the most recent of which was a 26-7 away victory over Newcastle Falcons. Also, the two-time European Rugby Challenge Cup champions have won nine of their last 10 home fixtures in all competitions this season.
Gloucester returned to winning ways in their last match, defeating Bristol 53-28 after two consecutive defeats. However, they lost their last two away fixtures against Newcastle Falcons (22-17) and Bath (42-26). On the European scene, George Skivington's side have been caught in a win-loss cycle in their four European Rugby Challenge Cup matches (W2, L2). These include back-to-back defeats on the road against Vannes (43-19) and Aviron Bayonnais (55-17).
