Clermont vs Bayonne Predictions


Clermont have been in excellent form at home in the Top 14 this season and regularly beat Bayonne in their own backyard. Bayonne are in a slump and are on a lengthy losing streak away from home.  

  • Clermont have won 4 of their last 7 fixtures in all competitions.
  • Clermont have won 7 of their last 9 home matches in all competitions.
  • Clermont have won 11 of their last 12 games against Bayonne.
  • Bayonne have lost 6 consecutive away fixtures in all competitions.
  • Bayonne have lost 9 consecutive away games in all competitions.
  • Bayonne have won 3 consecutive matches against Clermont. 

Head to Head


Clermont and Bayonne have 13 victories each, with one draw in their 27 meetings.

Clermont lost 44-17 to Bayonne away from home earlier this season. 

Clermont Form


Clermont secured a vital away win before a break in the French Rugby Championship, beating Toulon 34-14. 

Clermont have been in great touch at home in the Top 14 this season. They lost 34-24 to Toulouse before defeating Pau 50-27, Montauban 84-31, Toulon 27-10, Castres 63-14, Stade Francais 36-32, Bordeaux 34-19, and La Rochelle 32-27.

Clermont are 5th in the Top 14 table with 46 points from 17 games.

Clermont will fancy their chances to pocket all the points on offer when they host Bayonne, having defeated their opponents an impressive 11 times in their last 12 meetings on home soil. 

Bayonne Form 


Bayonne crashed to their sixth consecutive defeat before a halt to league proceedings, losing 41-36 to Racing 92 at home.

Bayonne have been poor away from home in the Top 14 this season. They defeated Perpignan 26-19 before losing 48-17 to Castres, 47-24 to Pau, 41-12 to Bordeaux, 47-27 to Racing 92, 49-17 to La Rochelle, 62-22 to Montpellier, and 31-10 to Toulouse.

Bayonne are 12th in the Top 14 table with 36 points from 17 matches.

Bayonne have been out of sorts, often losing their games, including nine in a row away from home, which is not ideal when taking on a Clermont side that has been getting results at home this season.
