Lyon faces Auxerre in a Ligue 1 pitting sides with completely opposite ambitions. Third-placed Lyon are looking to lock a Champions League slot, while 16th-placed Auxerre are four points adrift of safety. Let’s have a look at the match prediction.
Lyon had a statement victory against PSG last time out and will be looking to carry on the same way against a much weaker opponent. Les Gones are just finding themselves after a recent tough run and will be keen on bagging the points on offer.
Only three points separate third-placed Lyon from sixth, so the margin for error is really slim. Two straight wins after a run of nine winless games reinforces Lyon’s place as favorites here.
Auxerre have a tough task, as their hosts have won 10 of 14 home league games and only conceded 10 goals in the process. Their four-game unbeaten run, consisting of three draws, will offer some consolation.
Ajaistes were impressive in their 2-2 draw with Monaco last time out and will hope to go one better against Lyon. There’s still some defensive work to be done at Auxerre after letting a two-goal lead slip.
This is made even more important by the fact that Auxerre have scored just 25 goals, the joint lowest in the league.

Our Lyon vs Auxerre Prediction
Lyon are on course for their third straight win when they host relegation-threatened Auxerre. Hosting this game, Lyon are unbeaten in the last five, winning three times, and they look likely to extend this run. Auxerre have lost half of their league games thus far and could just be running out of steam.
Meanwhile, Lyon are on the rise, with two straight wins after ending their winless streak. Facing a side on a poor scoring run also works in the hosts’ favor. Our prediction for Lyon v Auxerre is that Lyon wins.
