Rodez Aveyron Football's reserve team faces Colomiers this Saturday, September 5, 2026, at 6:00 PM in a National 2 match, as reported by La Dépêche. This away fixture comes on the back of Rodez II's 2-0 victory over Chamalières last weekend.
Meanwhile, Rodez's first team is currently competing in Ligue 2, where they hold a solid sixth place with seven points from two wins, one draw, and one loss. Having scored ten goals and conceded just seven, the senior side boasts a +3 goal difference and sits five points behind leaders Saint-Étienne. Their next fixture is at home against 15th-placed Grenoble on September 11, a date to mark in the fixtures list.
What is at stake for Rodez II in this match?
For the Ruthénois reserve side, managed by Eric Duraisin with Antoine Caubet as captain, this trip to Colomiers represents a significant test. The Toulouse-based club is seen as one of the main favorites for promotion to National 1 next spring. A positive performance against such opposition would send a strong signal for Rodez II, who returned to National 2 this season after being relegated three years ago. A good result would confirm the positive momentum started with the win against Chamalières.
Who are the opponents from Colomiers?
Colomiers has started its season convincingly, with Dylan Cueye scoring in their opening match. The team, based in the Haute-Garonne department, has an ambitious squad and clearly aims for a higher level. For Rodez II, from the Aveyron department, the challenge is therefore substantial. The task will be to contain this attack and capitalize on chances created, relying on the defensive organization that worked in the previous match.
How does this match fit into the broader club context?
This National 2 fixture takes place as Rodez AF's first team is enjoying an encouraging start to their Ligue 2 campaign. The good form of the senior side, evident in the standings, can provide extra motivation for the prospects and players seeking more game time. The reserve team's performances are also watched closely to assess the squad's depth and the club's development work. A win at Colomiers would strengthen the image of a well-structured and competitive club at all levels.
Kick-off is at 6:00 PM this Saturday at Colomiers' stadium. After this match, focus will shift back to the first team and their preparation to host Grenoble on September 11.
