Lyon are getting into this match from a loss to Clermont with a scoreline of 39-31. In round 21, they played at home against Montpellier, exercising dominance from start to finish. Within the first three minutes of the first half, Maraku J registered a try, and Berdeu got a conversion Goal. The Away side countered, scoring a penalty Goal, a try, and a conversion goal in the space of five minutes. However, 30 minutes into the half-time, Lyon responded well with two tries and a conversion Goal. All thanks to Marchand G, Berdeu L, Niniashvili D, and Meliande M, who contributed to the points. In the second half, Lyon got two penalties and a try to get the 11-8 points.

Stade Français Paris experienced a second-half demolition at the hands of Racing just four days ago. In the quarter finals against Connacht, Hansen was clueless without the ball. Tommy O'Brien, Calvin Nash, and even Andrew Smith are all now ahead of Mack Hansen for Ireland. Connacht can't deal with the early injuries, as the squad is not deep enough. That's a few games recently where they lose a winger early, have no proper replacement, and the defence completely falls apart. The power of the racing pack was the difference -2 pushover tries. Tuisova to Farrell to Le Garrec for one of the tries, I am sure Racing fans would like to see this more for the rest of the season.

Lyon vs Racing 92: Prediction

This might just be the time in which Racing 92 might get knocked out of the road in the playoffs. This is because their top 14 season is poor. In the quarter finals, they had the advantage of the synthetic pitch, like at home in which Connacht also had. Lyon and Racing sides both look pretty full strength to me (though with Racing, you have to allow for the usual Patrice Collazo randomness). Racing does seem to be on a bit of a roll recently, but then again so have Lyon since their hellish winter. Home crowd in Lyon can perhaps make the difference here, but it should be finely balanced.
