Head to Head
Black Lion and Montpellier meet for the first time in a competitive match.
Black Lion Form
Black Lion did not enjoy a fruitful campaign in the EPCR Challenge Cup last season after finishing last in Pool 3.
Black Lion started well by defeating Vannes 22-19 at home, but then lost 36-18 to the Scarlets, 41-16 to Bayonne, and 36-15 to Edinburgh.
The Georgian side played two international club friendlies against the Cheetahs in October, winning 39-38 before losing 24-5.
Black Lion has opted not to contest this season's Rugby Europe Super Cup, so they have not played much rugby lately, but they did have success against a Top 14 team in their previous campaign.
Montpellier Form
Montpellier reached the round of 16 of the 2024/25 European Challenge Cup last season, losing 24-17 to Gloucester.
Montpellier are currently in 7th place in the Top 14 table with 28 points from 11 games.
Montpellier lost 26-23 to Bayonne, drew 22-22 with Montauban, lost 32-25 to Racing 92, and 35-12 to Stade Francais, before defeating Perpignan 28-0 away from home this season.
Montpellier have fair form on their travels this season and will fancy their chances against Black Lion in their opening pool match, as their opponents often struggle to win in this competition.
