My Prediction
Montpellier by 2Ah, another juicy matchup in round 12 with Montpellier locking horns with Racing Metro 92. Now, let's waltz down memory lane where past clashes saw both teams grappling for supremacy. Most recently, Montpellier served up a memorable victory over Racing Metro in February 2024. But not to be outdone, Racing Metro snatched away a win in October 2023. It's safe to say that nostalgia won't decide this match.
Peering over the regular season records, Racing Metro sits just a smidge ahead with a 5-6 record compared to Montpellier's 4-7. It’s the difference between a flat beer and a slightly less flat beer. Not much to write home about, but I suppose every droplet counts in the grand ocean of the Top 14.
Taking a closer look at their recent results, both teams have had their share of wins and losses. You could say they’ve had more ups and downs than a roller coaster at an amusement park if you’re into tired cliches like that.
Position-wise, these two are practically elbowing each other in the standings. Racing Metro owns the number 8 spot while Montpellier follows closely at 9th. It's fraught with suspense, people. You could cut the tension with a butter knife if you felt so inclined.
Now, coming to a prediction, it's a dogfight that's harder to call than a shot in the dark. The team records are tighter than a drum, and both have had their victories in previous encounters. But, the celestial bodies all seem to suggest Montpellier coming out on top here given the good performance in their last meeting and let's admit, the ‘bookies favorite’ tag hanging around their neck.
Albert's Prediction: Montpellier by 2.
