This Top 14 Round 18 fixture sees Stade Rochelais host Section Paloise at Stade Marcel-Deflandre on Saturday. The Yellow and Blacks are 10th in the standings with 41 points, while Les Sectionistes are second at 55 points. Here is our prediction for the game.

Stade Rochelais ran out shock winners away against Castres Olympique in their last match. They trailed by three points in the second half, but a decisive eight-point lead in the first half was enough to seal a deserved 31–26 victory for them over their hosts. 

That result finally brought their five-match losing streak across all competitions to an end and moved them within eight points of the top six. They have won six of their nine Top 14 home matches this season, all of which by blowout margins. 

Section Paloise thrashed Bordeaux Begles 39–17 in their last match to bounce back and strengthen their bid for a semi-final place in the standings. However, they haven't strung together successive wins in their last seven games across all competitions, losing four (W3). 

This includes three defeats in their last five Top 14 matches. They have lost their last three Top 14 away matches, the last two by heavy margins.
