Section Paloise conclude their Top 14 regular-season run by welcoming struggling Montauban to Stade du Hameau on Saturday. With 21 consecutive defeats, Montauban enter this clash as clear underdogs against a Section Paloise side that has enjoyed a perfect home league record this season. This is why we are tipping the home side for a dominant victory in our prediction.
Section Paloise suffered a blow to their top-two hopes after losing 26–18 to Montpellier HR on the road last week. La Section are now eyeing a favourable landing in the playoffs with a home quarterfinal fixture up for grabs. They head into this contest as strong favorites, having won each of their 12 home league fixtures this season, mostly by blowout margins.
Montauban enter this match already relegated to the second division following a poor run of results. They arrive at Stade du Hameau on the back of a 21-match losing streak across all competitions. That run includes an ugly-looking 17 consecutive defeats in Top 14.
In fact, Sébastien Calvet’s side have lost all 14 of their away matches this season. Their earlier home meeting with Section Paloise this season ended in a heavy 53–17 defeat.
