Stade Toulousain vs Bordeaux Begles Prediction: Stade Toulousain are unbeatable

Stade Ernest-Wallon will host the France Top 14 encounter between Stade Toulousain and Bordeaux Begles. Last weekend, the two teams secured a win over their respective opponents. Which side will keep things running?

Stade Toulousain will look to keep their unbeaten run intact this season after a win over Montpellier on the road last weekend. In that encounter, Stade Toulousain lost 11-10 in the first half, then pulled off a 0-10 win in the second half to overturn the result. However, in their first two matches of the season, Stade Toulousain defeated Vannes and Stade Rochelais. Heading into this game, Stade Toulousain have 13 points from a possible 15 this season, leaving them seated 2nd in the standings. 

Bordeaux Begles' last weekend encounter was against Racing Metro 92, and they pulled off a 52-34 win. Bordeaux Begles started the game with a 31-17 win at halftime, and a 21-17 win in the second half was enough to see them secure their second win of the season. However, this team started their season with a 46-26 win over Stade Francais Paris but lost 28-26 against Lyon in week 2. Bordeaux Begles have 10 points from a possible 15 in their first three matches, positioning them 6th in the standings. 

The two teams have been good this season, and I am not going to write either side off. While Stade Toulousain are clear favorites at home, Bordeaux Begleshave been incredible in their first three matches of the season. However, their strong attacking play is important in these two teams' games. Therefore, with Stade Toulousain expected to win, a bet on many goals is another option to consider.
