My Prediction
Montpellier by 2As we dive into this Round 17 action of Top 14, we've got a humdinger of a contest between Vannes and Montpellier. In our past time capsule, Montpellier had a nerve-racking 26-24 win. A difference of a sneeze, wouldn't you say?
Now, echoing the Regular season records: Montpellier spots a slightly sunnier 7-9 while Vannes, having a bit of a grumpy weather with 5-11. Putting that into everyday mathematics, Montpellier seems to know how to win better.
Let's pull up some recent receipts: Montpellier's been playing up and down but high-scoring affairs, quite the thriller, eh? That 30-38 loss to Toulon still stings. On the flip side, Vannes picked up steam, having a thriller with Racing Metro, barely coming out on top, 30-25. But, don't let that cloud your judgement, they've had their share of woes.
Having a peek at our standings, we've got Montpellier lounging at #9. Vannes, not quite comfortable, are down at the dungeons of #14. There's a mountain to climb for Vannes, alright.
Take this analysis with a grain of salt. We're all about expecting the unexpected, aren't we? Given the trajectory and a mix of mumbo jumbo stats, my ballot's with Montpellier. Simple maths really, they've shown more glitter than grit, but hey, a win's a win.
