Lorient and Auxerre have different targets for the season but will both be eyeing a return to winning ways in their Sunday meeting. Heading into the game, Auxerre remain stuck in the bottom three, while Europe-chasing Lorient are ninth. Let’s have a look at the match prediction.
Though they missed a chance to close in on the top six in their 3-3 draw with Nice, Lorient showed great fighting spirit. They went 2-0 down in the game, then 3-1, but battled to a draw, with the equalizer coming deep in added time.
Back at home, things should be easier, having won 22 of 32 points there. Their only loss at home in 11 Ligue 1 matches was against Lille.
Auxerre will be hoping to be the second to win here, but their form this season betrays them. AJA did beat Les Merlus in their last two meetings, but they haven't been in that shape lately.
They won the reverse fixture 1-0, which is one of their measly four wins in the league this season. Only one side has lost more than their tally of 14 this season, and their state is further complicated by being low scorers.
Auxerre have managed just 17 goals this season. That’s the lowest tally thus far, while they have only one win in their 11 Ligue 1 away matches.

Our Lorient vs Auxerre Prediction
Lorient’s dream for European football next season has been stalled by two winless outings in the last three matches. They will come into this game looking to recharge that ambition, and playing at home against a struggling side offers the right avenue.
Lorient are unbeaten in 10 home matches, winning six, while Auxerre are on six defeats in their last 10 away matches. The visitors have been one of the poorest-performing teams in the league, and this will be another tough outing. Our prediction for Lorient v Auxerre is that Lorient wins.
