This Top 14 regular-season final fixture sees second-place Montpellier HR travel north to Stade de Gerland to take on 10th-place Lyon on Saturday. The Rockroses, who are riding a nine-match winning streak, are strong favorites against a Lyon side that is struggling for form, hence our prediction in support of the away team.
Montpellier HR have found themselves in a two-horse race with Stade Francais Paris for a top-two finish despite their strong recent run. The Rockroses racked up nine consecutive wins across all competitions after defeating Section Paloise 26–18 in the league last week.
They are tied with Stade Francais Paris on 78 points heading into this final fixture and need a bonus-point victory to strengthen their semi-final bid. Joan Caudullo's side have lost only once in their last nine Top 14 outings, and this includes victories in four of their last five trips.
Meanwhile, Lyon's dwindling Top 14 fortunes continued as they fell 39–31 to Stade Toulousain last week, marking their fourth defeat in six league matches. They have little to play for on Saturday, sitting 17 points adrift of the top six and out of contention for a playoff spot.
