Second-placed Lyon travel to face fifth-placed Bordeaux Begles in this Top 14 Round 5 fixture on Saturday. Lyon are outsiders here, but have started this season strongly, making us back them to at least cover the handicap. 

It has been a mixed start for Bordeaux Begles in Top 14 this season. The Girondins have alternated between wins and losses in their opening four games (W2, L2), with their most recent outing ending in a 38–25 defeat to USA Perpignan last week.

Last week's setback means Yannick Bru's side have lost four of their last six Top 14 matches dating back to last season. While a strong home record has them on the front foot here, they haven't covered the handicap in six of their last eight Top 14 wins, stretching back to last season. 

Lyon suffered a 31–10 defeat away to Stade Francais Paris last week. However, they had won their opening three Top 14 matches this season before that defeat, including a shock 48–31 victory over Racing 92 in Round 3. Le LOU have lost seven of their last 10 Top 14 away matches dating back to last season, but have covered the handicap in six of them.
