Auxerre vs Lyon Prediction & Betting Tips (23 November)

Auxerre and their coach Christophe Pélissier aim to leave behind a series of 7 games without winning. The Icaunais club remains on defeats against Le Havre 0-1, Strasbourg 3-0, Marseille 0-1 and Angers 2-0, each time without scoring. This sequence makes it the bottom of Ligue 1 with 4 points spent on the first non-relegation club. The worst attack in the Championship has not won since September 21. Lyon's ambitions were also damaged between the last two truces.

Caught by Paris FC 3-3 despite a 3-goal lead, frustrated in numerical inferiority in Brest 0-0 and beaten at the end of the suspense by PSG 2-3, OL have not won any of their last 3 outings in Ligue 1 and have been ejected from the European top 6. Add to this his first defeat in the Europa League, against Betis Sevilla 2-0, to fuel the drought of the Rhone club before the November break. Only one victory in their last 6 Championship matches is worth noting. A drop in performance that will have to be erased to get back into the race for the Champions League. 

AJA remains without young defender Siwe and supersub Coulibaly, still unavailable. At the same time, the coach hopes to recover his versatile player El Azzouzi (midfielder or defender) whose repeated injuries have led him to play only 4 matches since the start of the year. The shortage of Sinayoko and Namaso on the attacking front and Mara's inability to unlock his score since his summer arrival are highlighted in this period where the club has not scored in the last 4 matches. Several Lyonnais do not make the trip to Abbé Deschamps. While long-term absentees Orel Mangala, Nuamah and Fofana remain out of action, secondary Hateboer and starters Morton (midfielder) and Tagliafico (left-back) must serve suspensions.

Czech international Sulc (5 goals in Ligue 1) is on his side after having withdrawn from the last meeting of the year with his selection. The young winger Moreira (20 years old) compensates for the absence of Fofana brilliantly on the left side. He is now established in the position and has been involved in 4 goals in the last 4 Championship matches.
