THE PREDICTION
Lyon were thrashed 25-3 away at an improving La Rochelle on Monday, snapping a three-match winning streak across all competitions. They are famously a different animal altogether, though, with a recent win here over in-form Premiership side Gloucester in the Challenge Cup evidence of that. Travelling Racing 92 had gone into the Champions Cup on a three-match losing streak in the Top 14 but a huge victory at Northampton Saints and a default over Ospreys leaves them both well-rested and theoretically on their way back to form. Still, go against Fortress Lyon at home at your peril. There is the scent of an upset here but taking the hosts to win outright seems a sensible enough call.
