Stella Sports Saint-Maur Women

Match report

The French Cup provided another setback for Stella Sport Saint-Maur, who fell 40:29 to Besançon on Friday evening. The result extends a difficult run for the hosts, who have now lost three of their last four matches across all competitions. Besançon arrived in good shape, having won four of their previous five games. They had already beaten Stella Sport 36:22 on September 11, and this time the margin was even wider. The visitors' attack seemed to find its rhythm early, while the home side struggled to contain the pace. We had called for a guest victory with 58 per cent confidence before kick-off. The reasoning was straightforward: Besançon's attacking structure had looked sharp in recent weeks, and Stella Sport's defence had been exposed in their last two defeats. The match played out exactly as predicted, with the visitors controlling much of the tempo. Stella Sport remain second in the table with 11 points from four games, but their form has dipped. The loss to Besançon marks another stumble in what had been a promising start to the season. Besançon, meanwhile, continue to build momentum as they push for European qualification. The French Cup campaign is now over for the hosts, who will turn their attention to the league. Besançon's victory puts them in a stronger position for the run-in, especially with the confidence of back-to-back wins over Stella Sport.
