THE PREDICTION
Lyon are out of sorts in the Top 14 and this quarter-final first leg at home to struggling Worcester Warriors should be a great distraction from four defeats in their last five. A 10-43 thumping at home to Toulon two weeks ago is of particular concern but they will have had enough time to recover and travelling Worcester have won just twice on the road this season. There is the slightest scent of an upset here, not necessarily the result but perhaps the margin, that makes taking Lyon to cover a cautious -8 look a sensible concession.
