Northampton Saints played Clermont in the round of 16 the previous weekend and pulled off a win.

Castres Olympique
Castres Olympique played Benetton the previous weekend in this competition and they secured a win. In a close contest which ended 39-37, this team needed a 24-22 first-half win as they settled for a 15-15 draw in the second half to book their spot in the quarterfinals. However, the home team has been impressive in the past months, losing only once since the beginning of the year, the loss coming against Montpellier. Ahead of this game, Castres Olympique have picked up wins over RC Toulonnais, Lyon, USA Perpignan, Racing Metro 92, and Bulls.
Expert Betting Tips
No doubts, Northampton Saints are favoured here but I am not just confident they can get the job done with ease. Castres Olympique have been impressive lately and I feel they will be a tough side to beat. This is going to be tough with the two teams expected to show a lot of offensive play. Yet, I will lean on the visitors to get within the line at full time.
