THE PREDICTION
Lyon’s spectacularly undefeated streak was broken by the most unlikeliest of sources as Brive beat them 12-8 at home on Sunday. That result is likely to spell trouble for Castres, who will at least be well-rested after their match with Bayonne was postponed last weekend. The visitors lost two tough fixtures in Europe to Ospreys and Newcastle Falcons to make it just one win in their last four games and Lyon is a tough place to go at the best of times. The hosts will be desperately disappointed to have let a winnable fixture go like that and should double down here as they chase down the teams at the top of the Top 14. Lyon can cover -14 in this match to put pressure on chasing Clermont and Stade Francais just below them.
