The Form Line
Pau have built the playoff push on Stade du Hameau form - the venue is one of the hardest road trips in the Top 14. The Section Paloise back-row has been the foundation. Hollywoodbets and Betway have Pau at 2.30 to 2.60 to win, with the handicap line shaded just to Racing.
Racing 92 finished third in the regular season but have lost their last two road fixtures. The attacking talent is there - the back three is the strongest of any side outside the top two - but the consistency on the road in playoff conditions has been the worry. The travel from Paris to Pau on a Saturday-night barrage is the wrong fixture for a side that has struggled with momentum away from home.
