Montpellier vs Stade Francais Paris Prediction: Montpellier to get back to winning ways

During the 2022-2023 France Top 114 season, match nine will take place at GGL Stadium, pitting Montpellier versus Stade Francais Paris. We have provided the match details along with some carefully considered betting alternatives.

Montpellier hopes to stop their bad form in the league when they play Stade Francais Paris at home. They have been defeated in each of their last four matches, losing to Stade Toulousain 17-19, Castres Olympique 26-13, Lyon 26-33, and Racing 92 38-31 over the past four weeks. This has been a catastrophic stretch for them. They have played eight league matches and been victorious in only two of those contests, placing them in 15th place in the league rankings. They now have fifteen points in the current season, which puts them only five points above USA Perpignan, the team currently in last place in the France Top 14 standings.

The Stade Francais Paris team has been victorious in their previous three matches. The guests had a winning record of 27-0 against Club Athletique Brive the week before, and they will be hoping to maintain that performance level when they go up against Montpellier. Despite starting the season inconsistently, their recent strong performance has moved them up to second place in the France Top 14 standings. To get to this stage, they have racked up 23 points in eight matches. We are keeping our fingers crossed that they put on a stellar performance in this match to keep the pressure on Stade Toulousain, the team that is now in first place in the league standings, and ultimately achieve their goal of winning the league in the long run.

There is a lot of history between these two squads. Montpellier has a strong record of victories over Stade Francais Paris, but they will face an uphill battle against a Stade Francais Paris team that is currently in fine form and has lost only two of their last five league matches. But we think they'll be able to cover the -4.5 point spread.
