Perpignan are tipped to cover the -5.5 handicap when they face Toulon in the Top 14. Perpignan have won their last four home matches and have beaten Toulon in four of their last five home meetings. Toulon, despite leading the overall head-to-head, have lost five consecutive away games and suffered a 16-point defeat at Perpignan last season. The hosts’ consistent home form and Toulon’s ongoing away struggles provide the main basis for this handicap selection.
