Following a successful outing in the Champions Cup, Bordeaux Bègles return to the Top 14 where they host Lyon on Friday. Bordeaux are just a place off the playoff slots while Lyon are currently battling relegation after a poor season. The two-week Champions Cup window injected more confidence to Bordeaux following wins over Bristol and Connacht. The wins came in devastating fashion as they blew their opponents aside to collect bonus point victories. They will hope to continue where they left off in the Top 14 having collected wins over Perpignan and Oyonnax. Heading into the encounter, Bordeaux will be boosted by the fact that they have won their last 10 home games against Lyon. Bordeaux will be hoping Damian Penaud is in inspired form that has seen him score seven tries, the most in the competition.

Lyon had mixed-bag results in the Challenge Cup, suffering defeat to Bristol but bounced back with a win over Bulls. They return to the Top 14 where they have been poor, winning just one of their five games. Last time out they came unstuck against Castres after winning the previous Bayonnais encounter. Lyon’s form on their travels has however been wanting, going winless in their last 10 games.
