La Rochelle vs Stade Francais
La Rochelle will be looking for redemption when they take on Stade Francais in this TOP 14 encounter. The home side were embarrassed in their last match as they were blanked 16-0 by Montpellier. They will be looking to bounce back against the Parisians who will be full of confidence after they dismantled Clermont 36-6. La Rochelle fielded a weakened team in the defeat but not getting on the scoresheet will have made Coach Ronan O’ Gara a frustrated man. His team are currently fourth on the log with 22 points with 18 of those points coming at home.
TIP: Stade Francais will be aware of the daunting task facing them as they are yet to gain a single point from their four away matches. Despite their convincing win last time out they are just three points above bottom club Vannes. La Rochelle are set to be without their international stars who will be away on national duty which will give the visitors some hope of causing an upset. The bookies have La Rochelle as favorites and I am also backing them for the win. The best odds on this bet are as follows: Tictacbets 1.15, SoccerShop 1.15 and Bettabets 1.15

PREDICTION
There will be a number of La Rochelle players with a point to prove none more so that Teddy Thomas. The winger was once the star of French football but has fallen down the pecking order and will want to remind the selectors of his class. The visitors will be hoping that the absence of players Gregory Alldritt and Paul Boudehent from the home side will mean that they can assert themselves on the La Rochelle forward. The home side still have plenty of threats in the backline with the likes of Thomas and Dillyn Leyds. I expect La Rochelle to bounce back in style and win this match by 18 points.

Sports crazy fan that follows all major sport but the game with the oval ball is my real passion. Was an age level rugby coach and a huge supporter of the Springboks and diehard Liverpool man. I’m an experienced punter and sports writer whose predictions/tips are sure to stir up the emotions. I love the occasional wager on the underdog.
