Zebre Form

Zebre had no answer against Connacht in their opening European Challenge Cup fixture, losing 43-12 away from home.

Zebre did reasonably well to trail 17-5 at halftime, but the second half would be telling for the visitors, as Connacht scored 26 points to cruise to a comfortable victory.

Zebre have contested four fixtures at home this campaign, beating Munster 42-33, losing 36-5 against the Stormers, 10-9 against the Lions before defeating the Ospreys 22-17.

Zebre have played their best rugby at their stadium this campaign and will fancy their chances against a Lyon side on a losing streak playing away from home.

James King kicked over the solitary conversion last weekend.

Lyon secured a 37-26 home victory against Cardiff last weekend, snapping a five-match losing streak.

Lyon scored 17 points in the first half to go into the break with a three-point lead over Cardiff.

Lyon must improve their away form as they have been out-of-sorts playing on the road lately, losing five in a row.
