After a hard-fought match on the Lyon pitch, Sunday December 22, 2024, on the last day, the Toulouse Stadium and the LOU left without a winner. This is the first draw of the season, allowing the Union Bordeaux-Bègles to steal the leadership position to the Red and Black.
At the end of a half-hearted performance to forget, the Red and Black will be keen to end the year on a more positive note at home. Playing in a Stadium sold outthey will receive the French Stadium10th in the championship, on behalf of the 13th day of Top 14, synonymous with… Boxing Day. The club also pulled out all the stops with a drone show and a fireworks show for the occasion.
The “Classico” to end the year
2024 rhymed with glory for Stade Toulousain. Between a 23rd shield of Brennus and and 6e crowned Champions Cupthe Rouge et Noir couldn’t dream of better. And what could be better than a gala poster on Ernest Wallon's lawn to end the year in style. Hanging in Lyon, Ugo Mola's men will however have to redouble their efforts this Sunday to hope to erase their poor performance.
Fit at home
Stade Toulousain will have home field advantage against the Parisians. With a average of 38 points scored per home gamethis is the second best attack of the championship. The defense does even better, since it is the best in the Top 14 with only 188 points collected.
The Red and Black therefore have serious arguments to overcome their opponent. Especially since the start of the season, the Stade Français did not take a single point away in six matches.
Only one victory in six confrontations
Despite a solid victory 49-18 in their last confrontation in this “Classico”, Stade Toulousain has often been trapped by the Ile-de-France residents in recent years. Indeed, Toulouse has only one victory in the last six meetings between the two teams…
To Ernest Wallon, the capital club draws up a rather balanced assessment of its last three trips to the South-West with a defeat last season, a draw on November 5, 2022 (16-16) and a victory on February 10, 2022 ( 29-28).
