Stade Francais Paris vs Vannes Prediction: The two teams eye first win of the season

In round 2 encounter of the France Top 14, Stade Francais Paris will be at home against Vannes at Stade Jean Bouin. The two teams started their season with a defeat and will hope to turn the tables here. How will this game unfold?

Stade Francais Paris

Stade Francais Paris were overpowered in their opener against Bordeaux Begles, a game that ended 46-26. In that encounter, Stade Francais Paris scored only five goals in the first half, while conceding 28. However, despite been able to score 18 goals in the first half, they ended up conceding 21. Heading into this game, the home team is clearly favored by the bookies, and will hope they can get things right in this encounter. 

Vannes

Vannes started their season against last season league winner, Stade Toulousian and ended on the losing end. In that game, Vannes started very slow, scoring only 6 goals in the first half. However, their second half was a bit better, but could only still score 12 goals, while conceding 20. Heading into this game, Vannes will be the underdog, but will still hope they can pick their first win of the season. 

Expert Betting Tips

The home team, Stade Francais Paris is ahead of Vannes and I do not expect them to slack a bit. While Vannes do not look solid against Stade Toulousain last weekend, I expect a more balanced performance from them here. Regardless, the home team is clear and should be able to pull off a dominant win.
