  • The home team have won seven of their ten games and are just seven points off the top of the table - Section Paloise +15 Handicap @ — 9/10 Unibet
  • La Rochelle have two good home wins over powerful Racing 92 and Stade Toulousain which definitely shows they can beat anyone on their home pitch La Rochelle - Half Time @ — 1/3 Betfair

We have seen La Rochelle really impress so far this season and they are up to third in the French Top 14. Their opponents this weekend are Section Paloise, who have shown glimpses of ability, but ultimately they don’t look to have the quality in them this season to be able to compete with the likes of La Rochelle. The home team look to have the advantage, and they are rightfully favourites for the game, and it is going to take a huge effort for Section Paloise to overcome what looks to be a tough task. Let's see our rugby betting predictions though.

La Rochelle vs Section Paloise Preview

La Rochelle were beaten last weekend by Castres, and they will want to bounce back from that defeat here. They won their previous three games before that though, including two good home wins over Racing 92 and Stade Toulousain which shows they can beat anyone on their home pitch. Overall they have won seven of their ten games and are just seven points off the top of the table. With a good win here they could move closer and as we head to the end of the calendar year, they could find themselves challenging for top spot.

Section Paloise have a split record of five wins and five defeats from their last ten games. However, in their last two games we have seen them play very well, beating Brive last weekend and losing narrowly against the strong Racing 92 the weekend before. If they turn up in the same form as that, they have the potential to push La Rochelle here and it will make for a very intriguing game.

La Rochelle vs Section Paloise Prediction

On overall form La Rochelle should win this game comfortably, but if Section Paloise turn up in the same form as they have shown in their last two games then they can keep this close. Ultimately, La Rochelle are favourites and they should win this, but we expect to see a very close game and one that is won by single figure points. La Rochelle can get the win, but only just in what should be a very close game. Let's check our rugby odds this weekend.

La Rochelle vs Section Paloise Betting Tips

Looking at the handicap mark the bookmakers have created for this game there is one great bet to have on the game. Section Paloise have been handed a +15 point start by William Hill, a huge start that they can take advantage of. They are priced moderately, and the handicap line with William Hills is the biggest around, so certainly the one to take advantage of. La Rochelle are the better team, and ultimately they look likely to win, however Section Paloise can keep this a very close game. They have the ability to keep the winning margin to single figures.

La Rochelle lost last weekend against Castres, and they are looking to bounce back from that hostile defeat here. They actually won their previous three matches before that though, including two good home wins over powerful Racing 92 and Stade Toulousain which definitely shows they can beat anyone on their home pitch. The market offers a better price for the Half Time only, so we picked this one as it's a great choice for anyone looking for a safer bet.
