Section Paloise attempt to make it nine home wins out of nine in this season's Top 14.  They are third in the table, a place and a point above the visitors Bordeaux Begles. Reah our match prediction below.

The home side will move into second place if they can beat the current European champions on Sunday. All eight of their home league games this season have been won, with a points difference of +122. Each of their last three home league matches have seen Section Paloise score at least 30 points.

They do need a win here because three of their last four games in Top 14 (all on the road) have been lost.

Bordeaux Begles will go ahead of their opponents with an away victory on Sunday. They are just a point behind Section Paloise and will also go second with a victory. Last weekend saw them beat Castres Olympique at home.

Their last away league game was also won but that was at bottom-of-the table Montauban. Bordeaux have won three away league fixtures this season but been beaten in five. Before the recent win, the Begles had lost at Montpellier and Clermont conceding 62 points.

We tip Section Paloise to get a vital home win.

Our Section Paloise vs Union Bordeaux Begles Prediction

Section Paloise owe their high league placing to their home form in Top 14. All eight of their home games have been won with only three coming on the road. One of those away victories did come by a single point at Bordeaux last November.

Bordeaux are only just behind their opponents but also aren't at their best on the road. Two of their last three away league games have been lost, the other a win at relegation-threatened Montauban. Our Section Paloise v Bordeaux Begles prediction is Section Paloise wins.
