A win for either team in this Top 14 fixture will see the victors become league leaders. Fourth placed Bordeaux Begles are home to Section Paloise. Time for our match prediction.
Bordeaux have already won two away games in Top 14 this season, the only team to have achieved that feat. Their home form is even more impressive with all four league games ending in victory with a +93 points difference.
It’s a continuation of last season’s impressive home form that saw them win 11 out of 13 games. A win over Section Paloise will be a fourth straight league win and make it seven in a row at home.
Section Paloise are a place and a point above their opponents. They are only two points behind current leaders Stade Toulousain. Their most recent fixture saw them beat bottom-of-the-table USA Perpignan at home.
That made it five-out-of-five on home soil in Top 14 this season but three of their four away games have been lost.
Their most recent away game saw them lead 10-6 at Racing 92. They failed to score in the second half and lost 15-10. That was their third successive away league loss after beginning the season with a win at Castres.
We tip a Bordeaux win on a -11 handicap.
