On Sunday, Lyon hosts Auxerre, aiming to bounce back from a surprising Europa League loss.
Lyon:
- Coming off a 1-0 defeat to Besiktas but looking to extend their winning run in Ligue 1.
- Prior to the loss, Lyon had won five consecutive matches.
- Seeking their fourth straight league win.
Auxerre:
- Best-performing promoted team, with nine points from wins against Nice, Brest, and Reims.
- Ended Reims’ six-game undefeated streak in a recent 2-1 victory, despite missing a penalty.
- Trying to achieve back-to-back league wins for the first time since April 2023, but have lost their last four away matches and are winless in seven on the road.
Prediction:
Lyon is favored to win, as they aim to recover from recent setbacks while Auxerre struggles away from home.
