The Jean-Bouin stadium may be slightly noisier than usual this Saturday, December 20. Stade Français hosts Racing 92 in a derby between the two Ile-de-France teams from the Top 14. A derby in which the men in pink are favorites, who remain on two convincing successes in the Challenge Cup.
After a great start to the season, Stade Français, on the other hand, slowed down slightly in the championship. Louis Carbonel’s partners remain on 3 defeats in their last 5 outings, which dropped them to fourth place.
They are nevertheless far ahead of Racing 92, stuck in 11th place. The Racingmen are only ahead of Montauban and Perpignan, in the last two places with only one victory for the first and none for the second.
Maintenance is therefore already almost assured but a place in the final phase remains playable. On condition of launching a series of successes, which could begin this Sunday at the neighbor’s. Under penalty of being definitively dropped and going through the end of the season without any challenges.
The kick-off of Stade Français – Racing 92 is scheduled for this Saturday, December 20, at 2:30 p.m. The meeting can be followed on Canal + Sport.
