Top 14 prediction: do the Toulonnais really believe in it?

Winner of the European Challenge last week, Toulon must believe in a miracle to see the final stages and it will start with a success against Bordeaux-Bègles, 5th with 63 points.

8th in the standings, the Toulonnais no longer have their destiny in their hands, and will be dependent on a combination of circumstances in the other match between Lyon and Bayonne. In the meantime, the RCT will want to celebrate their trophy won last weekend in front of their home crowd in Mayol and thus end the season on a good note.

The Bordelais for their part are guaranteed to participate in the final stages and can still aim for home advantage in the play-off. For this, Matthieu Jalibert’s partners will have to bring back a victory from La Rade while hoping for failures from the Ile-de-France teams in front.

For this RC Toulon – Bordeaux-Bègles meeting, our top 14 forecast is betting on a success for the Toulonnais (odds of 1.68). At home against a team that has lost 5 of the last 6 trips, and for their last match of the season in front of their home crowd, the RCT will want to savor their title won last week with their supporters.

Prediction Top 14: RC Toulon / Bordeaux-Bègles: Victory of Toulon, odds of 1.68

Prediction Top 14: ax match at Gerland

6th and last virtual qualifier for the play-offs, Lyon receives the Basques of Bayonne, 7th at 4 points from the Lyonnais.

The deal is simple for the LOU, not to lose by leaving the offensive bonus to the Bayonnais. The Lyonnais therefore know what to do and for that, it will be enough to contain the Basque attack which is struggling outside.

Because it is indeed a feat that awaits the Bayonnais! Beaten in their last 5 trips to the Top 14, the Basques will have to achieve a perfect match that they have never achieved outside of Jean Dauger this season.

For this Lyon OU – Aviron Bayonnais match, our top 14 forecast is betting on a more prolific second half in terms of points (odds of 1.60). Bayonne will have to take risks and that will suit the Lyon team who could charge for the spaces left in the second half due to fatigue.

Prediction Top 14: Lyon OU / Aviron Bayonnais: More points in the second half, odds of 1.60
