At the Pierre Fabre stadium, Montpellier will face Castres during the 9th day of Top 14, this Saturday, November 2 at 4:30 p.m.
Back on track last week with an authoritarian victory under the flood against La Rochelle (16-0), the MHR will have to confirm before the international break in November. Traveling to Castres, Montpellier will have to bring down the CO for the first time this season in their lair to continue their recovery. It will be a reunion for Hounkpatin, a defector from the CO this summer to Montpellier, who spent 6 years in Tarn.
Confirm before the break
With the improvement in all areas of the game seen last week, Montpellier can hope to collect points in Tarn. It will be necessary to compensate for the absences of Hogg, Coly and Miotti, injured, so it is Vincent who will take the opening alongside Louwrens, starting for the first time in the scrum. The MHR will once again rely on its main strength: defense (164 points conceded, 2nd defense in the Top 14).
