Fifth-placed RC Toulon will travel to face seventh-placed Aviron Bayonne in this Top 14 matchday four fixture on Sunday. Can the Red and Blacks maintain their winning start to the season against the Sky Blue and Whites? Here is our prediction for the match. 

RC Toulon have enjoyed a perfect start to their 2025-26 Top 14 campaign. The Toulon-based outfit opened their campaign with a 27-17 away win against Montpellier HR. This was followed by a narrow 16-12 victory over Castres Olympique the last time out, thanks to a 10-3 second-half comeback. 

However, the Red and Blacks have lost six of their last seven fixtures on the road. They have also lost three of their last four trips to face Aviron Bayonne.

Aviron Bayonne won their opening two matches before suffering their first defeat of the campaign in their last outing against Castres Olympique. They lost both halves by heavy margins, falling 48-17 away to their Castres-based rivals.

Nonetheless, Gregory Patat’s men remain one of the most difficult opponents to face in front of their home crowd. Dating back to last season, they have won 17 of their 18 home fixtures in all competitions. This includes five consecutive home wins, three of which by six points or more.
