Vannes vs Stade Toulousain Prediction: Toulousain will begin the season with a huge win

In the France Top 14, Vannes will play Stade Toulousain at Stade de la Rabine. Heading into this game, the two teams will have high hopes. How will they react in this one?

Vannes will come into this game as underdogs, and the newly promoted side will hope they can step up. Last season in the France Pro D2, this team had 89 points from 30 matches and finished 2nd. In those matches, Vannes scored 777 goals while conceding 508. In their recent matches, Vannes lost to CA Brive and Agen in matches that ended 21-26 and 27-22, respectively. However, they secured wins over Grenoble FC, Beziers, Rouen Normandie, Montauban, and US Dax.

Stade Toulousain did a very good job last season and will look to secure things running here. Last season, the road team finished the regular season with 76 points, finishing top of the standings. In the meantime, their playoff encounters saw them defeat Stade Rochelais in the semis, which ended 39-23 and then won 59-3 in the final. Heading into this game, Stade Toulousain won three of their last five matches, lost one, and drew one. 

Vannes will have a lot of work to do if they want to get substantial results in this game. On the other hand, Stade Toulousain has been a very good team, and winning the league last season was not an easy task. This should be a competitive game, but I am backing the road team to win by a huge margin.
