Bayonne vs Lyon Predictions

Bayonne are favourites and have been in spectacular form at home, winning their last 5 home matches. Lyon in contrast, have been struggling on the road, having lost four of their last five away. My best bet is for Bayonne to cover the -11.5 handicap.

Bayonne have won their last 5 home matches in the Top 14.
Bayonne have won 3 of their last 4 home matches against Lyon.
Lyon have lost 4 of their last 5 away matches in the Top 14.

Head to Head

Bayonne have won three of their last four home matches against Lyon. In their last meeting, Bayonne won 28-14 at home.

Bayonne Form

Bayonne come into this match on the back of an impressive run of home form, having won their last five matches.

Their home victories included a 26-23 win over Montpellier, a 44-7 victory over Clermont Auvergne and two big-ticket wins: beating log leaders Toulouse 40-26 and fourth placed Toulon 35-32.

Bayonne are currently eighth on the Top 14 table with 26 points from 10 matches.

Lyon Form

Lyon lost their last match 21-54 away at Toulon. They have lost four of their last five matches away from home. This is in stark contrast to their home form, having won four of their last five home matches.

Lyon are currently 12th in the Top 14 standings with 22 points from 10 matches. Given their poor away record, I am inclined to back Bayonne in this clash.
