Round four action in the EPCR Challenge Cup continues on Saturday when Section Paloise plays host to Ospreys at the Stade du Hameau. Both sides are level on 10 points in Pool 2 with La Section in second place and Ospreys in third. Let's get into the match prediction. 

Pau were been able to bounce back to winning ways this past weekend with a 24-15 victory against Dragons, following their 43-35 loss to the Lions in round two.

However, their form has not translated to their Top 14 campaign with seven defeats from their last 10 matches. Overall, they have seen victory on just five occasions from their 14 domestic matches.

On a positive note, Les Sectionnistes will occupy home turf, where they are currently enjoying a three-match win streak across all competitions.

Meanwhile, Ospreys rebounded excellently from their 59-15 defeat to Montpellier, with a convincing 35-15 triumph over the Newcastle Falcons this past week.

Notably, they have experienced an upturn in form recently, with just a single defeat suffered in their last five matches (W3 D1 L1). 

However, on the road, Ospreys have struggled to find positive results, now on a seven-match winless run dating back to June of last year.
