A perfect start to the Challenge Cup will be on the line when Montpellier Herault hosts Ospreys in Saturday’s Round 2 match. Both La Paillade and the Welsh side are hoping to add some consistency to their seasons. Read on for our prediction of the match.

Jean-Louis Gasset’s side opened their Challenge Cup campaign with a 14-18 victory over Dragons away from home. All the hard work was done in the opening half with no points registered in the closing stanza of the tight contest.

Montpellier will be banking on their home form to carry the day after three straight victories at the Stade de la Mosson.

Ospreys put their torrid start to their United Rugby Championship (URC) season behind them with a victory over Lions last time out. The Welsh outfit capitalized on Lions missing a number of their big guns who were rested for tougher tests ahead.

The bonus point victory sees Ospreys sitting at the summit of the group on five points with their weekend opponents lying third.

In the URC, Toby Booth’s side are having a season to forget with only two wins to their name, leaving them third from bottom. Their away form will be a source of concern ahead of the match, having lost their last five games.
