Toulon vs Lyon
Toulon suffered one of their worst ever defeats last time out and will be looking for a response when they welcome Lyon. Both teams will be disappointed with their losses as Lyon were beaten at home by Bayonne. Toulon are currently fifth on the table with 19 points while the visitors are just a point behind. The home side were thrashed 57-5 by Toulouse last week and the scariest aspect about the loss is that most of their first team players were on the field. Dan Biggar will definitely come into the team in the flyhalf position which will improve both their attack and defence.
TIP: Lyon won their opening away match of the season when they beat Montpellier but have lost their next three on the road. Toulon have won all three of their home games and will be looking to make it four on the trot. They will need their forwards to step up and gain dominance which will allow Biggar to launch their dangerous runners like Leicester Fainga’anuku and former Munster star Anton Frisch. The bookies have Toulon as favorites and I am also backing them for the win. The best odds on this bet are as follows: Tictacbets 1.20, SoccerShop 1.20 and Bettabets 1.20

PREDICTION
The Toulon team has struggled to hit their straps in attack which is strange considering the talent in the team led by the irrespirable Baptiste Serin. The nine would walk into any international team except the French thanks to a certain Anton Dupont. He was sorely missed in the defeat to Toulouse and will be a key player for the hosts. Lyon have their own superstar in Georgia’s Davit Niniashvili. He is electric if given any space, his duel with Fainga’anuku promises to be one of the highlights of the match. The match will be decided by the Toulon front row that includes Kyle Sinckler and Dany Priso. If they can take control of the scrum then I predict a home win by 15 points.

Sports crazy fan that follows all major sport but the game with the oval ball is my real passion. Was an age level rugby coach and a huge supporter of the Springboks and diehard Liverpool man. I’m an experienced punter and sports writer whose predictions/tips are sure to stir up the emotions. I love the occasional wager on the underdog.
