My Prediction
La Rochelle by 4We're gearing up for a clash of the titans folks – La Rochelle versus Racing Metro 92. This promises to be about as entertaining as a knitting class taught by a narcoleptic sloth. History hasn't been too kind to Racing Metro 92 in previous match-ups, unless they had some secret luck infused in their laundry detergent, they have lost 3 out of the last 5 skirmishes. If testimonies of past were to be believed, this one doesn't seem particularly promising for them.
Wait, let's not just pick on Racing Metro 92. La Rochelle has been showing all the consistency of a hiccup. With alternating wins and losses, it might be time for some old sports superstition to be introduced in their routine. Maybe wearing their socks inside out might do the trick?
Coming to last season's records, with La Rochelle slightly ahead with 8 wins, there's little to differentiate between the two. To make things more lukewarm, neither made it into the playoffs. If we were to introduce a nap protocol during game analysis, this would qualify.
Posing at number 7 on the standings, La Rochelle does however nudge ahead of Racing Metro 92. This is sort of like bragging about being the first guy to go bankrupt in a poker game. Nevertheless, status is status.
In terms of recent results, both teams have shown the tenacity of a wet paper bag. Although I’ve got to hand it, La Rochelle did manage to narrowly grab a win over Toulouse. Not something Racing can boast about, since they’ve been collecting losses like a school kid with an unhealthy obsession for baseball cards.
So, where does that leave us? Let's have a drum roll for what I know you've all been waiting for - my prediction. Prepare to be dazzled, folks. Bear in mind, I wouldn't put mine or your mortgage on it, but here it goes...
