Auxerre vs Lyon Predictions and Free Tips from our expert tipsters when the teams go head-to-head in French Ligue 1 on Friday, 17 February 2023.
Lyon have always been one of the best in the French top flight, and they have done justice to that tag this season as well. They are one of the very few teams to have remained unbeaten in the league in the past five game weeks.
Meanwhile, Auxerre are one of the absolute worst, and are on a course to get relegated at the end of the campaign. As of now, they are placed 19th in a table of 20.
The reverse fixture ended in a 2-1 win for Lyon, and they are also on a winning streak that stretches back to 2011. Note that they scored two or more goals in every single one of these games as well.
Do also note that the guests scored three or more goals at this venue in three of the past five h2h clashes here, and slotted in two or more goals in eight of the previous eleven meetings at this stadium.
Lyon won five of their past six overall fixtures, and they are also totally unbeaten on the road in the past three months.
On the other hand, Auxerre have a single win to their name after October, and this sole victory came against a team from the lower division – in the Coupe de France.
As a matter of fact, they won just thrice all through the current league campaign, and most of all they have a perfect losing record in h2h meetings in the past 12 years.
For sure Lyon have the upper hand this weekend.
Lyon scored two or more goals in 100% of h2h clashes in the past decade, and they scored three or more goals in three of the past five h2h meetings at this venue.
Moreover, they scored twice or more in every single h2h encounter at this ground in the past two decades – barring just three games.
Likely, goals are expected in plenty this Friday.
Lyon are quite consistent these days, and are putting up clean sheets regularly. At the same time, Auxerre are finding it hard to find the back of the net as well. In fact, only Ajaccio have scored fewer goals than them in the whole competition.
As such, it is unlikely that goals will come from both ends of the pitch.
Auxerre are one of the absolute worst teams in the Ligue 1 this season, and they are possibly getting relegated at the end of the campaign. Do note that they are placed 19th in the table.
Meanwhile, Lyon are one of the most consistent teams in the league, and are going after a European spot. It is important to take note that they have a 100% winning record in h2h clashes in the past 12 years.
