Lyon vs Bayonne Predictions - Lyon can capitalise on Bayonne’s away struggles in Top 14 encounter.

Lyon is set to face Bayonne in a Top 14 clash where the home side is heavily favored. Lyon boasts recent strong home form, while Bayonne has been poor away from home and is already out of playoff contention. Lyon’s recent close win against Castres and Bayonne’s heavy defeat to Toulon highlight their contrasting trajectories. The key recommendation is for Lyon to cover the -10.5 handicap, especially as Bayonne may rotate fringe players with nothing left to play for.
