It’s the resumption of the Pro D2 championship with the match between Grenoble and Montauban. Besides, Dax and Brive could offer a Nice poster this Friday evening…
Grenoble – Montauban
The dynamics are very different, in Isère and in Tarn-et-Garonne… While the two teams occupied the top of the ranking two months ago, FC Grenoble held its place well, even establishing its superiority with five points. ahead of his runner-up and ten ahead of Aix and Béziers. Conversely, the USM sank a bit in the final stretch towards the end of year celebrations: four defeats in a row. We want to believe in the renewal of the new year and all the goodwill, but against this impressive leader…
Our prediction: victory for Grenoble with the offensive bonus
Biarritz – Soyaux-Angoulême
In the same way as the Montalbanais, the Biarrots, in the leading roles two months ago, saw themselves overtaken by other teams with a better pace. But that does not mean that Boris Bouhraoua’s men are let go, as evidenced by their serious performances against Nice (16-0) or at Colomiers. At home, BO is one of the last four undefeated teams.
Our prediction: victory for Biarritz
Béziers – Nice
The ASBH receives the red lantern of Nice in a match which resembles a clash of extremes. The Biterrois, third in the standings, ended 2024 with a zero-point trip to the Mont-de-Marsan pitch. This match is therefore very important for Pierre Caillet’s men who hope to remain at the top of the rankings by taking as many points as possible against the poorly ranked southerner.
Our prediction: improved victory for Béziers
Oyonnax – Aurillac
The month of December was that of recovery for the Oyonnaxiens, clear winners of Angoulême and victorious on the pitch of Sapiac. Confirming against Stade Aurillacois would be welcome for the Aindinois, who would ideally launch the second half of the championship.
Our prediction: victory for Oyonnax
-Agen – Provence rugby
Are we going to witness Aix’s first away victory? Have the Provençals finally adjusted their sights to reach this milestone? Before the truce, everything suggested that yes. Mauricio Reggiardo’s men gradually got closer to this objective, with an improved defeat at Colomiers (31-30), then another at Dax (23-22). From the first, the manager noted that his men had scored as many tries as in their five trips since the start of the championship… If we follow this trend, and even if Agen ensured during his last two receptions (Oyonnax then Aurillac), we say to ourselves that it could be the right one…
Our prediction: victory for Provence rugby, defensive bonus for Agen
Nevers – Mont-de-Marsan
On the evening of the 9th day, last November 1, Nevers, bottom red, and Stade Montois, three points and three rows in front, were cheap. From this delicate period, during which everyone admitted to being stuck in the battle for survival, the two groups extricated themselves slowly but surely. Particularly Mont-de-Marsan, capable of winning at Oyonnax and beating the Grenoble leader. But will this be enough to destabilize USON Nevers, which is gradually returning to the standards we know?
Our prediction: victory for Nevers, defensive bonus for Mont-de-Marsan
Valence-Romans – Colomiers
The VRDR is not in the most comfortable situation as it begins this second part of the season. Penultimate, two points behind Soyaux-Angoulême, Fabien Fortassin’s men will logically see the receptions at the Pompidou stadium as an opportunity to secure their backs for the last five months. The Columérins will be eye-catching, as often, but it is difficult to say if they will be able to win.
Our prediction: victory for Valence-Romans, defensive bonus for Colomiers
Dax – Brive
US Dax is the second fittest team in the championship behind the leader from Grenoble. Eighteen points gleaned and four victories in five outings, a result allowing the Landais to be in sixth place in the standings. This Friday evening, the poster scheduled for 9 p.m. covers all aspects, with Dax’s reception of CA Brive, which has five successes in six matches. An interesting shock, moreover, for the opposition of styles that is coming.
Our prediction: victory for Dax
