Tarbes welcome Stade Briochin on Saturday, Jan 9 at 6:00 PM in a National 1 – Group B fixture that's tighter on paper than the positions suggest — just 2 points split them in the table.

Tarbes come into this fixture in mixed form (2W 1D 2L). Stade Briochin travel out of form (1W 2L recently), which may hand the initiative to the hosts. Tarbes won their last outing, while Stade Briochin suffered defeat — home advantage backed by momentum.

Verdict: Little separates these two on form or history. Home advantage could be the deciding factor — a narrow Tarbes win or a draw looks most likely.
