THE PREDICTION
Stade Francais are bottom of the Top 14 after three matches played but it should be noted that they have faced three tough opponents so far in Paris rivals Racing 92 at home and then back-to-back visits to Bordeaux and Toulon. Still, a 38-5 trouncing at Toulon last Sunday is of great concern and they will be desperate for a better performance at home against Castres, where they did the vast majority of their winning last season. Travelling Castres will have other ideas after starting the season in even better form than they finished the last one, with two wins and a draw seeing them finish last weekend in fourth place. Stade Francais ate the favourites to reverse their fortunes at home but taking in-form Castres to win with a +5 head-start looks a useful option here.
