Zebre vs Pau Predictions


Zebre played well in their EPCR Challenge Cup qualifiers, but they are on a losing streak. Pau were eliminated from the European Rugby Champions Cup but boast a perfect winning record against Zebre. 

  • Pau have won 3 of their last 5 fixtures (Top 14). 
  • Pau have lost 4 of their last 5 away games in all competitions.
  • Pau have defeated Zebre three consecutive times.
  • Zebre have lost 5 consecutive fixtures (URC).
  • Zebre have lost 4 of their last 5 matches in all competitions. 

Head to Head


Pau have the advantage with three victories to none against Zebre. 

Zebre Form


Zebre had a solid EPCR Challenge Cup Pool 1 qualifying campaign. They defeated Montauban 41-17 at home, and lost 31-7 to Montpellier away before beating the Ospreys 23-19 at home, and Black Lion 28-14 away. 

Zebre have not been at their best at home in the URC since those results. They lost 26-21 to the Glasgow Warriors, 31-15 to Connacht, and 28-12 to Ulster. 

Zebre had success during the pool stage of the competitions, but they are on a five-match losing streak in the United Rugby Championship and have failed to beat Pau in three meetings.  

Pau Form 


Pau failed to advance out of Pool 4 of the Investec Champions Cup after some mixed performances. They lost 35-27 to Northampton Saints at home, lost 61-12 to Bristol away, and beat the Scarlets 47-38 away before losing 26-24 to the Bulls at home. 

Pau have contested three away games in the Top 14 since their disappointing campaign in the European Rugby Champions Cup. They lost to Toulouse 59-22, to Perpignan 40-24, and to La Rochelle 20-6. 

Pau have struggled to win away from home in recent outings, losing four of their last five, but will have the belief they can get the result against Zebre, as they have yet to suffer a loss to their opponents.
