Montpellier ended the year 2024 with a great performance in Clermont (18-22) and wants to continue this momentum at the start of the year. The reception of Bayonne, the surprise team of this mid-season (4th, 38 points) promises to be a real test for Joan Caudullo's players.
The Héraultais will also try to make us forget their first leg at Jean Dauger where, in front during the end of the match, they gave in on a try from the inevitable Maqala (10 tries this season including two against Montpellier in September). But since this setback, Montpellier has forged a state of mind and a solid identity. It will take that to impose itself before a perilous trip to Stade Toulousain after the two weeks of European Cups.
To welcome the Basques, the Montpellier staff is counting on almost the same players as those who won the battle in Auvergne against Clermont. Camara, Erdocio and Tauleigne return to the squad while the back lines remain unchanged.
