Vannes are bottom of Top 14 with two games to play. This weekend sees them host Section Paloise (also known as Pau) who are ninth in the table. RCV will be desperate to get a home win here. Time for our match prediction.
A win in this penultimate Top 14 game is vital for Vannes. They occupy the one automatic relegation place and are four points behind 13th-placed USA Perpignan. Finishing in 13th place would take them into a relegation play-off. There’s a further point gap to 12th and safety.
Their final game is away to second-placed Bordeaux. Vannes are playing in Top 14 for the first time but have only won seven of their 24 games.
The last two have both ended in defeat. Home form has seen RCV win five league matches. They had been unbeaten in four before being beaten 30-29 by Stade Rochelais.
Section Paloise are three places and five points behind the final play-off position. They have had two narrow wins in their last couple of fixtures to keep their play-off hopes alive.
On the road, Section Paloise have struggled with two league wins and ten defeats. Those two wins have come in their last four away matches.
We tip Vannes to get a vital home win.
