Lens will be making another push towards European football when they play host to Auxerre in the French Ligue 1. This match in round 31 finds Lens in eighth place, three positions ahead of Auxerre. Below we have a prediction.
Lens’ stuttering run in the season has seen them drop further away from the European football places. They are currently six points adrift of the top six and congested as it is, Lens will find it hard getting back in.
They bounced back from the shock 2-0 loss to Reims with a 3-1 away win at Brest last time out. This was their fourth win in six matches, and Lens will hope to learn from it.
Auxerre have also stumbled in their recent matches. While they will have reason to celebrate their current position, it could have been better. Now they still need two more points to confirm survival.
They are coming from back-to-back defeats by Lyon and Lille. Both losses ended 3-1. L’AJA have shown this season they can get results against the top teams, so here the plan will be to get things back in order.
Before the defeat by Lyon, Auxerre had gone on a four-game unbeaten run. They have four clean sheets in the last eight matches, and two of their last four matches were won by single-goal margins.

Our Lens vs Auxerre Prediction
It is written all over this match that it will be a low-scoring affair. In Lens’ last five matches in the league, there were a total of nine goals. Dating back to the days of these teams in Ligue 2, this match hasn’t mostly been a high-scoring one, though the last two meetings broke that.
Four of Lens’ last six matches had to be settled by a single goal, and the same applies to three of Auxerre’s last seven matches. Such numbers are likely to be replicated here. Our prediction for Lens v Auxerre is for under 2.5.
