Toulouse are tipped to cover the -9.5 handicap when they face Clermont in the Top 14. Toulouse have won their last five home matches and lead the league with 28 points from eight games. Their strong home and head-to-head record contrasts with Clermont’s struggles on the road, having lost four of their last five away matches and sitting 10th in the table. Both teams are managing injuries and international absences, but Toulouse’s consistency at Stade Ernest-Wallon makes them strong favourites for this fixture.

Toulouse vs Clermont Predictions


Toulouse are strong favourites due to their strong league standing, dominant home and head-to-head record, and Clermont's poor away form. My best bet is Toulouse to cover the -9.5 handicap at home.

  • Toulouse have won their last 5 home matches.
  • Toulouse beat Perpignan 38-33 in their last home match.
  • Toulouse has won 4 of the last 5 matches against Clermont.
  • Clermont have lost 4 of their last 5 away matches.

Head to Head


Toulouse has won four of the last five matches against Clermont.

Toulouse Form


Toulouse defeated Perpignan 38–33 in a thrilling Top 14 Round 7 match at the Stade Ernest-Wallon in their previous match, after leading 17-7 at halftime.

Toulouse built a commanding 38–7 lead early in the second half, driven by tries from Matthis Lebel (2), Joshua Brennan, Anthony Jelonch, Teddy Thomas, and a penalty try.

Despite the deficit and playing twice with a numerical disadvantage, Perpignan mounted a fierce four-try second-half comeback, before Toulouse scrambled to close out the game.

Toulouse have been impressive at home, winning their last five home matches in all competitions. Their previous results include wins against Bordeaux (48-12), Montpellier (40-18), Bayonne (45-34), Exeter (43-40), and Perpignan (38-33).

Toulouse are top of the Top 14 table, with 28 points after eight matches.

Toulouse Injuries & Team News


Toulouse is managing a heavy injury toll and international call-ups as they prepare to host Clermont at Stade Ernest Wallon.

Injuries include Thomas Ramos (calf/thigh), Blair Kinghorn (knee injury),  Peato Mauvaka (serious ACL), and Valentin Delpy (out for roughly three months with a dislocated shoulder).

Clermont Form


Clermont lost 27–26 to Vannes in a dramatic Top 14 Round 7 match at the Stade de la Rabine.

Clermont completely controlled the early stages, heading into halftime ahead 16-6, thanks to a Baptiste Jauneau try and the boot of Harry Plummer.

Early in the second half, a try from Clermont prop Giorgi Dzmanashvili, followed by another Plummer penalty, extended their lead to a comfortable 26-9, before Vannes utilised their bench to mount a fierce comeback as Clermont's defence cracked.

Clermont have struggled on the road, losing four of their last five away matches in all competitions. Their previous results include a win against Bordeaux (34-31), followed by losses against Lyon (40-36), Bayonne (46-24), La Rochelle (38-13), and Vannes (27-26).

Clermont are 10th in the Top 14 table, with 16 points after eight matches.

Clermont Injuries & Team News


Clermont have signed All Blacks prop Ofa Tu'ungafasi on a three-month short-term deal to cover front-row injuries and international call-ups.

Regis Montagne (tighthead prop) has been called up by France for the Nations Championship, with both Cristian Ojovan (tighthead prop) and Sacha Lotrian (prop) injured.

Verdict

Toulouse are strong favourites due to their strong league standing, dominant home and head-to-head record, and Clermont's poor away form.
