The leader meets his chaser
At the game of the particular difference, the FCG is third in the ranking, behind Oyonnax, but tied on points with Perpignan. But it is a match at the summit that the 11,000 spectators at the Stade des Alpes will attend on Thursday evening. The "Rouge & Bleu", who experienced great difficulties in the Basque quagmire last week, must do much better this week, so as not to let their neighbours escape to the top of the Pro D2, and also to avoid the return of Colomiers.
Very successful on the road (3 wins, 16 points), the Oyonnax team has the opportunity to widen the gap with a direct competitor on the way up in the Top 14. Even if they will be without Benjamin Geledan and Lionel Beauxis, injured in Aurillac, Oyo's coaches will be able to rely on a rich squad, where Rory Grice seems to have regained some of the points of reference lost over the past few months. He will undoubtedly be the number one danger on the visitors' side. Unless the foot of Yohan Le Bourhis, best director of Pro D2 (158 points) manages to take advantage of the indisciplione of the Grenoble team, undoubtedly the greatest weakness of the Icelandic team during this first half of the season.
If they want to spend the winter in the warmth, the FCG must win against Oyonnax. It will have the support of a large audience for this.
