Northampton Saints vs Castres Olympique Prediction & Betting Tips - Champions Cup
by Steve Ashfield | in Champions Cup Predictions
English Premiership side Northampton Saints host Castres from Top 14 this weekend. This is their first match in pool 3 of this season's European Rugby Champions Cup. Can the Saints get a home win? Read our match prediction.
Also in this pool are Bulls, Munster, Saracens and Stade Francais Paris. A top four finish will take a team into the last 16 of this competition. Last season saw the Saints lose in the semi-finals and win the play-off final in the European Rugby Champions Cup. This season hasn't gone so well for them though and they are only eighth in the table after the first seven matches of the season.
They have won three of their seven league fixtures, all at home. Last week saw them suffer ther first home league loss of the season, losing to Gloucester.
Castres are seventh in Top 14 with six wins and five defeats. All their wins have come at home with five successive away league losses. Their most recent away defeat saw them beaten 54-10 at Clermont. They have conceded at least 30 points in all five of those away defeats.
Only three teams have conceded more away points in Top 14 this season than Castres. We tip Northampton to win this and defy a handicap of -13.5 points.
