Vannes and Clermont have struggled for results in the Top 14 this season. They lock horns in their next fixture on Saturday at Stade de la Rabine. RCV have lost both of their previous two meetings with Clermont and all six of their Top 14 matches this season, making us favour the away side in our prediction.

Newly promoted Vannes continued to wait for their first Top 14 win of the season as they fell 21–12 to USA Perpignan in their last outing. That result means the two-time Pro D2 champions have suffered defeats in all six of their Top 14 matches this season. 

Their poor run of form continued in their Challenge Cup opener last weekend against Harlequins. Jean-Noël Spitzer’s team lost both halves by double-digit margins, before suffering a 57–19 defeat to the Quins.

Clermont suffered a narrow 23–22 defeat to Bordeaux Begles in their last Top 14 outing, marking their fourth defeat in six matches in the French top division. They also came off second best against Leinster in their Champions Cup opener last weekend, losing 48–23. 

However, Les Jaunards will be confident of a positive result here, given their greater Top 14 experience. They have also won both of their previous meetings with the hosts.
