Lyon will look to return to winning ways when they host Auxerre on the back of a shock loss in Europe. On Sunday, Les Gones’ welcome l’AJA who are seeking a win that could lift them into the top half. Below we have a preview and prediction for the match.
The hosts come into the game looking to restart another winning run after their 1-0 loss to Besiktas in the Europa League on Thursday.
Before the defeat, Lyon had won five straight matches. At least they still have a winning run to extend in Ligue 1. The hosts go into this game seeking their fourth straight win in the league.
Auxerre’s return to Ligue 1 hasn’t been straightforward but they are the best performing among the three promoted sides. The nine points they’ve been able to bag so far came from wins against Nice, Brest and most recently Reims.
Auxerre were particularly rampant against Reims as they brought their six-game undefeated run to a halt. They even missed a penalty in the 2-1 home win.
Now they have the chance to win back-to-back league matches for the first time since April 2023. Auxerre have, however, lost all their last four away league matches and are winless in seven league games on the road.

Our Lyon vs Auxerre Prediction
The last time these two sides met, Auxerre beat Lyon 2-1. That was the fifth straight match pitting the two sides to produce over 2.5 goals. While Auxerre will wish to pull another such result, they come here as the underdogs.
Lyon have picked up well and their loss in the Europa League is seen as a small blip for the team. The French giants are expected to bounce back here while there’s also a possibility the match will have high scores. Our prediction for Lyon v Auxerre is for Lyon to win and over 2.5 goals.

More than 80 leagues and competitions are available on this football promotion from bet365. If the team that you have backed takes a two-goal lead at any point in the game, then your bet is a winner. This counts on both single bets and on multiple placed on the full time market, though of course on a multiple it is only the game in question that is marked as a winner, all the other selections still have to win as well.
A bet placed on any enhanced price is not valid for this offer, nor any bet that is cashed out. If you have partially chased out, the remainder of the stake is paid out as a winner. If your acca selection would have been a loser but for this offer then you will not gain any acca boost winnings. So for example, your team goes 2-0 up so you are paid out as a winner but the end result is 2-2, your bet is still a winner if all the other selections win but you do not gain any acca boost.
All tips are fully researched and given in good faith, but profits cannot be guaranteed.
