Biarritz Olympique secured a convincing 38-20 victory over Colomieu at home in the Pro D2 on 10 September 2026. The result stands in stark contrast to the visitors' position in the table, where they sit second with 95 points from 30 games. The hosts, meanwhile, occupy tenth place with 56 points and a record of twelve wins, one draw and seventeen losses.
Biarritz had shown mixed results in their recent outings. They suffered a heavy 47-25 defeat to Uayonaks on 4 September, but before that displayed their attacking capability with a 36-5 win over Nissa on 27 August. The visitors came into this fixture with three consecutive losses, including a 18-13 defeat to Provence on 3 September and a 38-26 loss to Angoulême on 27 August.
Colomieu's position in the table remains commanding, but this result tightens the gap in the middle of the division. Biarritz's performance suggests they can compete with the top sides when conditions suit their style. The hosts have now won two of their last five matches, including this one against the visitors.
Our prediction of a home victory carried 57% confidence, and it has come to pass. The hosts had the game won inside their own territory, capitalising on the visitors' recent struggles to impose themselves. Colomieu failed to find their rhythm, and the line has barely moved for them in these opening matches of the season.
The result leaves Biarritz with a chance to build momentum as the season progresses. Colomieu face a task to regroup after this setback, particularly as they look to maintain their challenge at the top of the Pro D2. The scoreline tells the story of a match where the hosts took their opportunities and the visitors could not respond.
