The Aix-en-Provence Argonautes (2-2-1) look to continue their midseason surge as they host the Grizzlys Catalans (3-2) in a crucial French D1 Elite Southern Conference rematch, just one week after staging a dramatic second-half comeback to win 19–12 on the road.
Aix-en-Provence riding high
The Argonautes have found their rhythm behind running back Antoni Giglio, who scored all three of the team’s touchdowns in last week’s victory. With quarterback Gabriel Fernandez—the league’s fourth-leading passer—managing the offense efficiently, Aix-en-Provence has won two straight and is quickly climbing back into playoff contention. Playing at home this time, they’ll aim to build on that momentum and complete the series sweep.

Grizzlys seek to stop the slide
After starting the season 3–0, the Grizzlys have dropped two consecutive games, both featuring second-half collapses. The loss of quarterback Badis Grami to injury in the first half last week undoubtedly hurt their rhythm. His status—along with the performances of playmakers like receiver Idriss Ramky and Alexandre Agnimel—will be key if Catalans hope to rediscover their early-season form and contain Giglio and the surging Argonautes offense.
Playoff implications on the line
This quick rematch offers Grizzlys a chance for immediate redemption, while Aix-en-Provence can solidify its turnaround with another statement win. With the Southern Conference standings tightening, this matchup could prove pivotal for both teams’ postseason hopes.
