Olympique Lyon will be at home against Auxerre on matchday three of the French Ligue 1. Both sides are coming off winless outings and will be looking to bounce back. Auxerre are in a much worse state, still searching for a first win of the season, and our prediction won’t favor them.
Lyon’s season has had start-stops, and here they have a chance to start a stable run. They will be gunning for a first win in three matches, coming from a 1-1 draw with Le Havre.
Les Gones scored a late equalizer in the game to avoid a second straight loss. At home, they have won three of their last five games in Ligue.
Auxerre have had a disappointing season, a far cry from the side that finished last season with three straight wins. To be fair to them, though, the opening fixtures were never going to favor AJA.
They’ve started off the season with a two-game losing run. Firstly, a 5-2 defeat against high-flying Lens before losing 3-1 at home to Angers on matchday two.
Lyon will not be an easy opponent either, especially as they face Corentin Tolisso, a player who has a good run against Auxerre and is in great form this season. Tolisso had a goal and three assists against Auxerre in the last four games and already has three assists this season.

Our Lyon vs Auxerre Prediction
Auxerre’s tough start to the season isn’t helped by the fact that they have at least seven players likely to miss this game. One thing they will be positive about is their scoring form.
This season alone, they’ve managed three goals from the opening two games and have scored in nine of their last 10 league games. Lyon too are on a good scoring run and we are backing them for the same here. Playing at home, Lyon will also have the advantage. Our prediction for Lyon v Auxerre is for Lyon to win and BTTS.
