Lyon vs. Auxerre: French Championship Match Prediction
The ninth round of the French Ligue 1 will take place on Sunday, and it will open with a match between Lyon, which is one step away from the European Cup zone, and Auxerre, which is fighting for survival. Both teams won the last round. Who will be able to build on their success on October 27? You will find the answer and trending bets in the forecast.
Command Analysis
Lyon
FranceCurrent form
Compared to last season, Lyon managed to recover from an unsuccessful start faster in the current competition. Until October 24, Pierre Saja protégés were on a streak of five victories in a row. Besiktas was able to interrupt their successful performances, having won a minimal victory with a score of 1:0 on the road in the next round of the Europa League. In defense of the hosts of the upcoming match, it can be said that the club clearly did not lose in terms of the game and won in many key indicators. Let us recall that Alexandre Lacazette even managed to score a goal, but the goal was disallowed due to offside. In the upcoming match, the players will certainly try to rehabilitate themselves, because the fans and the club management will clearly not understand an unsuccessful second game in a row at the local stadium.
Disqualifications and injuries
There are no injured players on the team.
Interesting trends for betting
- Lyon have scored in four of their last five home games
- The hosts have kept clean sheets in three of their last six meetings.
Probable line-up : Perry - Maitland-Niles, Chaleta-Car, Niahate, Tagliafico - Tolisso, Kakré, Veretout - Cherki, Lacazette, Fofana.
Auxerre
FranceCurrent form
Auxerre are aiming to take a central place in the standings and so far they have succeeded. After eight games played, the team has nine points, three more than Le Havre, who are in the danger zone.
The visitors are currently in good shape, having won two of the last three rounds. There was a confident victory over Brest with a score of 3:0, and also a triumph over Reims in the last match (2:1). They are unsuccessful in playing away, because Christophe Pelissier charges have lost all four away rounds this season. That is why bookmakers do not believe in the team success and put it as a clear underdog.
Disqualifications and injuries
Joly, Koulibaly and Agouzoul are injured and will not take to the field
Interesting trends for betting
- Auxerre have lost their last five away matches
- The visitors have conceded in nine of their last ten meetings.
Probable line-up : Leon - Hoover, Diomande, Jubal, Osho, Mensah - Perrin, Danois, Owusu, Traore - Aye.

In three of the last four meetings the bet was successful
1.85Bet Lyon to score in the second half
Lyon have scored in the second 45 minutes in five of their last six matches
1.50Tip and bets
In four away matches, Auxerre have conceded 11 goals. This is despite the fact that their opponents were such strong teams as Nantes, Le Havre, Montpellier and Saint-Etienne. In a match with a more formidable opponent, such as Lyon, Christophe Pélissier charges will have an even harder time containing attacks. Especially considering that Lyon very often scores more than one goal per match on their home field. We are betting on the victory of the stronger (at the moment) team.
Our prediction is a Lyon victory with odds of 1.55
Bet on total
Lyon have scored in three of their four home league games, with only the game against Monaco failing to net.
Auxerre have also been successful in three of their four away games, scoring against their opponents. In addition, the teams have scored goals against each other in their last four head-to-head encounters. We conclude that both teams will be able to score in the two halves.
Our prediction is both teams to score with odds of 1.80
Bet on corners
Judging by Auxerre poor performance away from home and Lyon competent play at home, we can only assume that the hosts will score significantly more corner kicks.
Our prediction is Asian handicap (-1.5) on corners for Lyon with odds of 1.50
