THE PREDICTION

Stade Francais could not carry their excellent Top 14 form into the European Challenge Cup as they lost poorly 20-44 at home to the Pro14’s rock-bottom side Benetton and then by default to Cardiff Blues due to coronavirus cancellations. It is unclear if this match will go ahead yet so it is worth holding fire on this one until confirmed. If it does play out, hosts Pau have been plucky enough this season to pull something off here. The strength of Stade Francais’ starting 15 will be vital in calling a result but Pau to win at home after a successful start to their Challenge Cup campaign could be backed with a +2 head start.
