Lyon scored 769 and conceded 795 in this explicitly bounded sample. Current selections are still unverified, so older personnel advantages are not carried into the scorecard.
Bordeaux-Bègles XV
Selected XV and bench unverified at the 2 October 2026, 16:52 SAST cutoff. Checked ubbrugby.com, the official LNR round-five match sheet and focused current-week team searches; no selected team was verified. Probable teams, training groups and previous-round selections are excluded, leaving personnel dimensions ungraded.
Lyon XV
Selected XV and bench unverified at the 2 October 2026, 16:52 SAST cutoff. Checked lourugby.fr, the official LNR round-five match sheet and focused current-week team searches; no selected team was verified. Probable teams, training groups and previous-round selections are excluded, leaving personnel dimensions ungraded.
Key Matchups
No selected-unit edge is asserted before the XVs and benches are verified; “close” in these placeholder rows means ungraded. Léo Berdeu (Lyon) has 26 points in 3 Top 14 appearances at this four-round cutoff; Maxime Lucu (Bordeaux-Bègles) has 25 points in 4 Top 14 appearances at this four-round cutoff. These are past contributions, not proof that either player is selected this weekend. Verified Bordeaux rotation in the half-backs or Lyon retaining its strongest front row would require a fresh personnel comparison. The league results remain the only graded basis beyond venue and head-to-head.
Match Forecast
Bordeaux are the six-point provisional home lean on results and the recent rivalry. The 64–5 and 40–10 home wins show what they can do when possession becomes pressure. Lyon’s own attacking starts keep this from being a wide-margin call. The seven-dimension net is +3; the unmodified two-way house output is 71% for Bordeaux-Bègles, with no separate draw probability.
Neither selected XV nor bench is verified, so the three personnel dimensions remain ungraded. Lyon have three wins from four and Bordeaux lost 25–38 last week. A six-point model margin cannot stand in for a comparison of the teams eventually announced.
Provisional — Bordeaux-Bègles by 6; selected XVs and benches are unverified.
Provisional: Home and away selected XVs and benches; three personnel dimensions are ungraded.
