THE PREDICTION
Lyon thumped Toulon 30-12 in the Challenge Cup final last Friday evening and they face a likely thriller here against the Champions Cup champions La Rochelle in an unofficial super cup. The hosts have lost just one of their last seven matches across all competitions but they face a tough assault on their excellent home record here against one of the form teams in Europe. La Rochelle have won each of their last four matches across all competitions, beating the likes of Leinster, Racing 92 and Top 14 leaders Montpellier. Going against Lyon at home is almost never advisable but with the play-offs at stake, taking La Rochelle to win with a hefty +5 head-start could be the shrewd move here.
