Auxerre had a good return to Ligue 1 and will hope to maintain the high standards in the second. They start 2025/26 with a home match against newly promoted Lorient. Read on for our prediction.
The second season after promotion is always said to be the toughest, but Auxerre will hope to negotiate through. A winning start will set them rolling; this time they are looking to finish better than 11th, which they achieved last season.
The one regret fans will have here is that last season’s lead scorer, Gaetan Perrin, has left. Having struggled in attack in preseason could be a pointer to what’s coming ahead. Auxerre failed to score in their last three friendly matches.
Lorient had a more assured run in attack in preseason, save only for their last friendly. They lost 1-0 to Angers and will be looking to address that in their coming competitive matches.
The last time out against Auxerre, Lorient also failed to score, losing 1-0. That was just an extension of the low-scoring returns this fixture has produced over the years.
In four of the last seven meetings between these teams, under 2.5 goals were registered, and at least one side failed to score. Lorient, having finished top of Ligue 2, will hope to carry their good run of form here.

Our Auxerre vs Lorient Prediction
Much has been said about the departure of Auxerre’s top forward last season, and the effect of his absence is already being felt. The team failed to score in the final three preseason matches and enters the season in danger of struggling in attack.
This is already a low-scoring fixture, with both sides rarely getting on the score sheet. We can bet on that again here, as four of the last seven meetings between these teams had under 2.5 goals. Our prediction for Auxerre v Lorient is: Under 2.5 goals & BTTS – No.
