It's a clash of extremes on this 18th day of Ligue 1! This Saturday, RC Lens will face AJ Auxerre at the Stade Bollaert-Delelis. Lens is having a very successful season. Leading the French championship before the start of this match day, they've managed to win their last seven games. To top it all off, the Sang et Or have secured their place in the round of 16 of the Coupe de France. The team coached by Pierre Sage is hoping to continue its momentum this weekend.

It's a different story for AJ Auxerre. For several weeks now, the Auxerre club has been stuck in the relegation zone of Ligue 1. It is in 17th place in the standings and four points behind the first non-relegation spot. Christophe Pélissier's men have lost their last two league games. It's a complicated situation as they travel to face the Ligue 1 leaders...
