AJ Auxerre VS Lyon

Auxerre VS Lyon 💰💰. Looking to end a worrying losing streak in the top flight, strugglers Auxerre welcome Lyon to Stade de I'Abbe Deschamps for a Ligue 1 clash on Sunday afternoon. Les Diplomates' fortunes worsened last time out at the base of Angers, whilst Les Gones suffered a last-minute defeat at the hands of the European champions. Match preview After finishing a comfortable twelve points clear of the relegation zone on their return to this level during the 2024-25 campaign, Auxerre are well and truly stuck in the relegation mire this time around, with Sunday afternoon's hosts looking set for serious struggle. Les Diplomates' winless run in Ligue 1 extended to a highly-concerning seven matches prior to the November international break, when an own goal from Clement Akpa and a strike from Prosper Peter secured maximum points for fellow top-flight minnows Angers. Collecting just the single point from their last seven matches, Auxerre have dropped down to rock bottom in the Ligue 1 standings ahead of this weekend's visit of Europa League-competing Lyon, three points from the safety of Brest in 15th position. A major Achilles' heel for Les Diplomates at the beginning of their second straight season in the top flight, Christophe Pelissier's troops have netted just seven goals across 12 Ligue 1 contests so far, meaning that they possess the poorest attack in the division by a considerable distance. Winless across six league outings to date, Auxerre will be delighted that Sunday's clash takes place at their Stade de I'Abbe Deschamps home, where the team's most recent victory arrived back on September 21, when left-winger Danny Namaso netted the only goal of the game.
