Auxerre Team News
If something drastic doesn’t change soon, Auxerre will return to Ligue 2. The home team has only 15 points after 23 games and occupies the penultimate place in the table. Although the “safe zone” is not too far away, the home team’s form does not inspire too much confidence that Auxerre could avoid a frantic fight for survival.
The home team stands out for two parameters this season. With 19 goals scored, they have the second-worst offensive performance in the league, while 47 goals conceded, they have the third-worst defense in this competition. With such weak numbers, it isn’t easy to expect any significant success.
Lyon Team News
In the first part of the season, the visitors played very erratically, and nobody gave them a serious chance to qualify for Europe. After the winter break, Lyon started to play much better and managed to “approach” the fifth-placed Lille, only 6 points behind.
Since the beginning of this year, Lyon has been playing significantly more offensively. In the previous 5 games alone, the players of this team scored 8 goals, which is a significant improvement if we consider that they struggled offensively in the first part of the season. In the last round, they scored as many as 3 goals against a “tough” team like Lille, which speaks volumes about their rise in form.

Auxerre vs Lyon Prediction
Lyon is perhaps the team in the best form in Ligue 1 at the moment. As soon as they changed their playing style and started to play more offensively, the results started to “come.” This time they are playing against one of the teams with the worst defensive line, and even without Lacazette, Lyon would have to solve this game in their favor.
Here we expect that the home team will not only defend but will play more offensively and openly because Auxerre has been without a win for too long, which will give Lyon’s attackers a chance to continue their great goal-scoring streak.
