The 2022 champions Lyon welcome Cardiff Rugby to the Stade de Gerland in Saturday’s Round One Challenge Cup match. Below we have a prediction for this clash.
Lyon are not in great shape heading into the fixture, as they sit second. Their torrid run of form has seen the hosts lose their last five games, leaving them in danger of relegation.
Their most recent defeat came at the hands of Section Paloise with Joe Simmonds bagging 22 points in the 29-15 loss. Following a run of 15 straight victories at the Stade de Gerland their fortress has recently been breached.
In the last two home games, Fabien Gengenbacher’s men have suffered defeat.
Cardiff Rugby have posted a decent start to the United Rugby Championship and comfortably sit fourth with 21 points from seven matches.
After suffering a blip that saw them lose all their matches in October, the Blue and Blacks have steadied their ship in recent games. Since then Matt Sherratt’s men have picked up two victories to boost their playoff chances.
Their most recent win came against URC strugglers Dragon as they claimed a 31-23 win over the Welsh side. Cardiff have also been impressive on their travels winning two of their last three matches.
