THE PREDICTION

Racing 92 exerted their dominance on hosts Stade Francais in the Paris derby last Saturday with an assured 9-22 victory that they will be confident of extending. The hosts have lost just two of their last 12 matches across all competitions to set themselves up for a play-off berth in the Top 14 as one of the most in-form domestic sides in France. Stade Francais won 29-35 here last season in a big shock but Racing 92 have since won all four of their meetings by at least 13 points. Back the hosts to cover at least -13 here for a fairly cautious move, or increase that to around -18 for a fair risk. Stade Francais have lost four of their last five across all competitions.
