Ospreys vs Lyon Prediction: Ospreys to repeat history in these quarterfinals

At Swansea.com Stadium, the Ospreys will play Lyon in the European Challenge Cup. The two teams head into this game after a decent performance last weekend in the round of 16. Which side makes it to the next round? I will preview this game below and offer predictions.

Ospreys

Ospreys defeated Scarlet the previous weekend and will hope for a similar result here. In a dominating 36-14 contest, Ospreys took a solid 26-7 win at halftime and a 10-7 second half win was enough to see this team take maximum points. In the meantime, Ospreys have won three times in the last four games played, defeating Connacht and Glasgow Warriors. Ahead of this game, Ospreys have won seven of their last home matches, a run they will hope to continue.

Lyon

Lyon played the Sharks the previous weekend in the round ⅛ of this competition and they won. In a 34-21 contest, this team won the first half with a 27-7 contest but then lost 7-14 in the second half. However, this team has won three of their last four matches, with their lone defeat coming against Aviron Bayonnais. In other encounters, Lyon picked up wins over Vannes and RC Toulonnais. Ahead of this game, Lyon have struggled in their road matches, losing three, drawing one and then picking up one win.

Expert Betting Tips

I feel history will be repeated, especially with Ospreys playing at home. Having met two times and struggling in each contest, Lyon will hope to get things right as they come in on a good level of play. Yet, Ospreys winning chances here show what we should expect from them. While I believe Lyon will prove stubborn after scoring 34 points last week, I will back this game to end with many points.
