Lyon will host Sharks in this 2024-25 European Rugby Challenge Cup round-of-16 fixture on Sunday. The winner of this match will face either Ospreys or Scarlets in the last-8. Can Le LOU defeat the Durban-based side to qualify for the quarterfinals? Let's take you through our prediction for the match.

Lyon suffered a 28-14 defeat to Bayonne in their last match. This result marked their second defeat in four matches (W2) and third in eight matches (W5). 

Notably, Lyon are unbeaten in their last seven home matches (W6, D1). This includes an impressive winning streak in their last five matches. Also, Fabien Gengenbacher's side have won three of their four Challenge Cup matches this season, two of which by double-digit margins.

After a two-match winning run, Sharks suffered a 10-7 home league loss to Leinster in their last match. They have lost five of their last seven away fixtures. These include heavy losses against Leicester Tigers (56-17) and Bordeaux Bègles (66-12) in their two Challenge Cup away matches. However, John Plumtree's side will hope to bounce back to winning ways on Sunday against Lyon.
