Section Paloise will be in action at Stade du Hameau this Saturday evening when they host Stade Francais in round four of the Top 14. Les Sectionnistes sit level on five points with Les Stadistes after their first three matches in the league. Below is our match prediction.

The hosts were sent back to Pau distraught last weekend when Stade Rochelle finished just one point shy of doubling their score, in a match that ended in a 49-25 defeat.

That would be Les Sectionnistes second loss out of three matches this campaign, with their only win coming against Bayonne in round two. 

At home, though, Pau have found joy, winning each of their last four matches, with all four wins coming by a points difference of over five in this competition. 

Meanwhile, a low-scoring affair is what The Pink Army had to contend with when they hosted Toulon last week. With just one try scored by each side, the match ended in favour of the visitors at 14-10.

However, with just two wins out of their last five matches, The Pink Soldiers have fallen far behind schedule if they hope to emulate last season's success when they managed a second-place finish in the league. 

Some of this drop in performance can be attributed to their away form, with the Paris side unable to find a positive result in their last four matches.
