Racing 92 vs Montpellier Herault Preview

Racing are strong at home and they have won their last three games overall. Their last defeat came at the hands of third placed Rochelais, but since then they have been very impressive. Last weekend’s away win at Toulonnaise was very good and built on their home victories against Section Paloise and Bordeaux. They are looking strong and expect to see them around the top of the table as we get into the latter part of the season.

Montpellier have been very impressive so far, winning eight of their ten games to have a four point lead at the top of the French Top 14 league. They have won their last three games like Racing, with their last two coming at home to Clermont and Stade Toulousain. They added an away win against Section Paloise in that run and people are finally beginning to realise that they could contend for the league title.

Racing 92 vs Montpellier Herault Prediction

Whatever the outcome in this game, we are going to learn a lot about Montpellier and whether or not they can genuinely contend for the league championship. Racing will provide a stern test and we expect to see a close game, with just a couple of points separating them at the final whistle. That will make this a great game for the neutrals, and one that many people will intend to watch to see how Montpellier get on. Let's now see the latest rugby betting odds.

Racing 92 vs Montpellier Herault Betting Tips

With such a close game looking likely the best way to approach this game is to look at the handicap betting that is on offer. Montpellier have been given a +6 start in the handicap and that is enough to cover them. They could win this game, or they may lose but whichever way the game goes, but only a couple of points will separate them. Backing Montpellier on the +6 handicap can be done with William Hill, and they are priced at a decent value, this being the best figure available. This covers you for the draw and also if they lost by a small margin.

Racing 92 is a very powerful team and with the fans being there for them, it will be really hard for Montpellier to keep up. Even though the visitors have won eight out of ten matches, Racing 92 played incredibly well at home against Section Paloise and Bordeaux, and they also won away at Toulonnaise last weekend. This is a safe bet given that it's only for the Half Time, and with the boost of the fans it should be pretty easy for them to overcome the visitors in the beginning.
