Head to Head
These sides have never met before.
Montpellier Form
Montpellier have gotten their Challenge Cup off to a strong start by winning both games thus far.
The French club began the campaign with a 18-14 win over the Dragons in Newport before seeing off Ospreys 59-15 on home soil.
Since then, Montpellier have gone on a winning run in the Top 14, too, winning their last three games. Overall, the French club are on a five-match winning streak.
Montpellier Injuries & Team News
Montpellier will be looking to secure a third successive Challenge Cup win, so expect them to field a strong side.
Lions Form
The Lions began the season well in the United Rugby Championship, challenging near the top of the table. Unfortunately, they then lost to Leinster and Munster which dropped them down the table.
The Lions then went down to Ospreys in the Challenge Cup, a game the Johannesburg-based outfit would have fancied winning. However, a week later on home soil, the Lions beat Pau 43-35, however, the victory was hardly impressive.
Last time out, the Lions lost to the Stormers in the URC in Cape Town. They were outplayed for most of the game, eventually losing 29-10.
Lions Injuries & Team News
The Lions focus will be on the URC and their home game in the Challenge Cup next weekend. They won’t risk their top players for a week trip to France.
Verdict
Montpellier are backed to cover the -17.5 handicap.
