Lyon host Bordeaux in the second quarter-final on Sunday evening. The hosts have been strong at home and will be confident of advancing to the next stage. Bordeaux will be the underdogs given their poor away form and will have a mountain to climb in order to win this one.

Lyon Form and News

Les Loups have been strong this season and finished third on the table with fourteen wins. Ten of these wins came at home.

Recent results include a 23-9 loss at Bordeaux and 41-31 home win over Perpignan. They would then go onto draw 31-31 at Stade Francais.

They crushed Aviron Bayonnais 53-19 at home in their last match. The home side dominated the match from start to finish. A strong second half showing proved to be the real difference in class as Lyon ran in seven tries in the match.

We await team news but should have a similar line-up on the pitch.

Bordeaux Form and News

Les Damiers qualified for the knockouts in sixth position with thirteen wins. Their away form has been poor all season and have lost ten times in thirteen away outings.

A 23-9 home win preceded a 31-17 loss at Toulouse. A 28-0 home win over Pau would be the next result.

Bordeaux lost 35-19 at Toulon in their last match. A tough away day was observed as a superior Toulon showed their class with a great win. Bordeaux’s poor away form reared its ugly head again as they went down comfortably.

The squad is yet to be announced but they should have a full-strength squad to choose from.
