Castres Olympique are 7th in the standings with 27 points from 11 games.  

Castres have been in great touch at their stadium this season and have not lost in front of their fans in ten outings, but Bordeaux will not be an easy victory.

Bordeaux enjoyed back-to-back success in their recent Investetc Champions Cup matches, beating the Leicester Tigers 42-28 at home and Ulster 40-19 away. 

Bordeaux have had mixed fortunes playing away from home in the Top 14 this season, losing 28-26 against Lyon, defeating 16-12 against Toulouse, losing 32-22 against La Rochelle, and 37-27 against Clermont before beating Vannes 37-29.
