With 35 points after 23 games, Lyon currently rank ninth in the Ligue 1 standings. Auxerre play catch-up as they recorded 15 points in 23 matches, putting them up as 19th before their upcoming clash.
With 3 defeats in the last 6 matches across all tournaments, the mood around the Auxerre camp could probably be a lot better. They need to up their game or prepare for more disappointment, when facing Lyon on home soil.

Auxerre vs Lyon Prediction
Auxerre Form
Auxerre have been too mediocre in their last three matches, where a win has failed to come their way. Against Reims, they gained a point in a 0-0 draw, before coming up short against Rodez, who ran out 2-3 winners. Lately, they managed to steal a point in a 1-1 draw with Angers. Auxerre claimed just a single measly home win from a possible six in the Ligue 1, which also saw them drawing two and losing three matches, in which they scored four and conceded 11 goals.
Lyon Form
Lyon are unbeaten in their last three matches, first beating Troyes by 1-3. This was followed by a 2-2 with Lille and a 2-1 win against Lens. Lyon came through their last six away games in the Ligue 1 with four wins. Of those six matches, they drew once and lost once in which, they scored 11 and conceded five.
Head-to-head encounters tend to bring out the best in both sides, and we fully expect the trend to continue, when Auxerre renew Lyon their acquaintance.
Lyon have been very dominant in their previous nine encounters with teams from the bottom six. They picked up more points against lowly ranked opponents than any other top team this season. They collected seven wins, 22 points, while scoring 23 and conceding eight goals. Auxerre show off a record of three wins, six draws and 14 defeats in the Ligue 1 this season. Lyon put ten wins, five draws and eight defeats on the board in the Ligue 1.
