Exeter Chiefs vs Montpellier Prediction: A tough contest ahead

The European Rugby Championship playoff match between Exeter Chiefs and Montpellier will take place at Sandy Park. While visiting Montpellier is currently riding a two-game winning streak, Exeter Chiefs are the favorites.

The Exeter Chiefs are expected to benefit from playing at home and have the support of the bookmakers in this match. The home squad recently suffered defeat at the hands of Bath in a game that concluded 36-19. Yet, it is important to acknowledge that Exeter Chiefs, with a total of 16 out of a possible 20, finished second in Group A of the European Rugby Champions Cup. Exeter Chiefs have played in five recent games, winning three of them and losing twice.

After victories over Clermont and USA Perpignan in their most recent league fixtures, Montpellier will be hoping to continue their winning streak in this contest as well and earn another victory. However, prior to those triumphs, Montpellier experienced a losing streak of four matches in a row, during which they also did not win any of their previous four matches. Because of the way they performed in the European Rugby Champions Cup, Montpellier was only able to pick up 9 points from their four matches, but that was enough to secure their spot in the playoffs.

We look forward to a well competitive contest with high offensive play from both teams. However, we still I believe that Exeter Chiefs will have a good chance to win this match considering how well they did in the group stages of the European Rugby Champions Cup as well as in their league.
