Ninth-placed Lyon host 11th-placed Stade Rochelais in this Top 14 round 8 fixture on Saturday. Le LOU will look to bounce back from last weekend's defeat and break into the top six with a win against Stade Rochelais. Here is our prediction.
Lyon suffered a 35-13 away defeat to Montpellier last week. The two-time champions lost both halves as they collapsed to their third defeat in four matches against the hosts.
However, Karim Ghezal's men head into this match as favorites. They have won their three Top 14 home matches this season, including their last two home fixtures against Stade Rochelais.
After two straight defeats, Stade Rochelais returned to winning ways by defeating newly promoted side Montauban 54-19 last week. The Yellow and Blacks accelerated off reach in the first half, leading by 28 unanswered points, before sealing victory with a further seven-point advantage in the second half.
Nevertheless, Ronan O'Gara's side have endured a poor run of form on the road. They have lost 10 of their last 12 away matches dating back to last season, including their three Top 14 away games this season.
