With four games of the main season to go, Stade Francais Paris lead Top 14 by two points. Stade Toulousain are in second spot and will go top if beating the leaders at home on Sunday.

The top two go straight into the semi-finals of the end-of-season play-offs. They lead third-placed Bordeaux Begles by seven points so a loss this weekend might put them under pressure for that top two position. Stade Toulousain have the best home record in this season's Top 14. All 11 of their home fixtures have been won.with 414 points scored in those matches. Three of the last four have been won by more than 20 points.

Stade Francais Paris are top of the table and have the best away record in this season's Top 14. However, although they have won six matches, five away games have been lost. That includes two of the last three, most recently a 41-18 loss at Clermont who are 11th in the table. Stade Francais Paris also lost to Stade Rochelais 23-3 with their only recent win on the road being a 12-10 win at Montpellier who are one from bottom in the table. We tip Stade Toulousain to win this match and defy a -11 point handicap in doing so.
