Bordeaux has won four of the last five meetings between the clubs, including a 22\u201318 victory in February 2025. That match was closely contested throughout, but Bordeaux managed the key moments late to extend its recent dominance in the fixture.<\/p>\n<p>Form entering this contest adds further contrast. Clermont has won just one of its last five games, continuing a difficult stretch as the club searches for rhythm and consistency. Bordeaux, meanwhile, arrives having won three of its last five matches and is riding a three-game winning streak. That run has reinforced Bordeaux\u2019s balance across the pack and backline, particularly its ability to control tempo and finish opportunities.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.florugby.com\/events\/14541064-2025-clermont-vs-bordeaux-begles\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><\/p>\n<p>2025 Clermont vs Bordeaux-Begles<\/p>\n<p><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Stade Marcel-Michelin provides Clermont with a challenging but familiar home environment, and the hosts will look to disrupt Bordeaux\u2019s recent success and reverse their own form trend.
