Stade Francais vs Cardiff Predictions


Stade Francais have been in excellent form at home in their domestic league this season. Cardiff have been performing well in the URC but have been prone to inconsistent performances when playing away from home. 

  • Stade Francais have won 2 of their last 5 fixtures (Top 14).
  • Stade Francais have won 7 consecutive home games (Top 14).
  • Cardiff have won 4 consecutive fixtures (URC). 
  • Cardiff have won 2 of their last 5 away matches (URC). 

Head to Head


Stade Francais and Cardiff have recorded one victory apiece. 

Stade Francais Form


Stade Francais had a poor time in the European Rugby Champions Cup last season, finishing last in Pool C with one victory.

Stade Francais are in fourth place in the Top 14 standings after 11 rounds, with 31 points. 

Stade Francais have defeated Montauban 47-24, Bordeaux 28-7, La Rochelle 26-24, Montpellier 35-12, and Toulon 51-24 at home this season. 

Stade Francais have played their best rugby at home this season, winning four consecutive matches, and have now recorded seven victories in a row on their own turf.

Cardiff Form


Cardiff competed in the European Challenge Cup last season, reaching the round of 16 of the competition before being knocked out by Connacht 35-20. 

Cardiff are in second place overall in the United Rugby Championship table with 25 points from six matches. 

The Welsh team lost 45-21 to the Bulls, 34-24 to the Stormers, and 23-20 to Munster before defeating the Dragons 24-17 and Zebre 29-14 in their last five away games. 

Cardiff have made an excellent start to their URC campaign, but face a stern test away to Stade Français, who have yet to lose at home this season.
