Ninth-placed RC Toulon play host to Lyon in this French Top 14 round nine clash on Saturday. Can the Red and Blacks bounce back from their heavy defeat last week against Lyon? Let's get right into our prediction for the match.
RC Toulon suffered their heaviest defeat this season last weekend against Stade Toulousain. They conceded eight tries, falling 59-24 to the defending champions in Toulouse. This result marked their third defeat in seven league matches this season.
However, Pierre Mignoni’s side have yet to taste defeat in their last five Top 14 home matches dating back to last season. They have won all five, four of which by wide double-digit margins.
Lyon enter this match on the back of two straight defeats, including a 36-19 loss to Stade Rochelais in their last match. They have also lost four of their last five games, three of which by 17 points.
Moreover, Karim Ghezal’s side have endured a poor run of form on the road. They have lost seven of their last eight away games dating back to last season, including their last six away visits to RC Toulon. Can they overturn this poor record in Saturday’s clash?
