Second-placed Toulon will travel to take on Lyon in Top 14 matchday 18 fixture on Saturday. The Red and Blacks will hope to continue their push for a fifth league title as they lock horns with Le Lou in this highly anticipated clash. Here is our prediction for the match.

Lyon saw their three-match winning streak in all competitions come to an end following a 30-25 away loss to Castres Olympique in their last league match.

However, they have been formidable opponents at home lately, winning their last three matches in all competitions. This includes an impressive victory over Cheetahs (68-21) in European Rugby Challenge Cup and another blowout win (53-17) over Stade Rochelais in their last league fixture at home.

Toulon will head into this match with three straight league victories, including a 24-6 home win over Stade Francais Paris in their last match.

However, they have been inconsistent on the road, losing five and winning three of their last eight away matches in all competitions. This includes a 38-30 victory over ninth-placed Montpellier in their last away league fixture.

The victory over Montpellier came after back-to-back away defeats against Bordeaux Bègles (21-17) in the league and Sale Sharks (33-7) in the European Rugby Champions Cup. Given this trend, we are tipping Lyon to cover the spread.
