Stade Rochelais vs Exeter Chiefs Prediction: Rochelais in search of first win over Chiefs

Stade Rochelais will play Exeter Chiefs at Matmut Atlantique in the second match of the European Rugby Champions Cup. The odds favor the home team, but the Exeter Chiefs are hoping to retain their undefeated record against the Rochelais.

Stade Rochelais might have the backing of the bookies heading into this showdown, but the French team will still be highly nervous because games against the Chiefs have historically proven challenging. In fact, throughout the history of both clubs, Stade Rochelais has never been victorious over Exeter Chiefs. However, Stade Rochelais are enjoying a fantastic season, and things have significantly swung in their favor; hence, this may be the ideal opportunity for them to get their own back on the Chiefs and take their first win over them. Stade Rochelais are currently riding a winning streak of eight games heading into this fixture, which is a streak that they will be looking to extend here.

After losing their previous match in Premiership Rugby, Exeter Chiefs got back on track with a victory against Bristol last weekend. Nevertheless, they will be concentrating on the European Champions Cup, in which they are positive that they can compete for a spot in the final. In spite of the fact that they are the underdogs in this match, the English team will still feel confident because they have never been defeated by Stade Rochelais. They will be hoping that history will repeat itself once more in the event that they are successful.

Putting the past to one side, the current Stade Rochelais squad have made tremendous strides in recent years. Not only have they done exceptionally well in the Top 14 of France, but they have also had a lot of success in Europe, which demonstrates how driven they are to win championships. In the meantime, the Exeter Chiefs have not been playing up to their potential as of late, and when compared to their performance in prior seasons, we cannot rely on the Chiefs in this situation. As a result, Stade Rochelais have our back to come out on top in this competition. In light of the fact that both teams are anticipated to demonstrate aggressive behavior in this match, there is also optimism that over could be a smart choice.
