Auxerre vs Lyon prediction: FRANCE: Ligue 1 betting tips on match 2025-11-22 14:00.
[p]Basement boys Auxerre return to Ligue 1 action looking to stop the rot against a Lyon side also under pressure after a poor run of recent results. [/p]
[p]Match News and Current Form[/p]
[p]It’s been a tough second season back in Ligue 1 for Auxerre, who come into the contest without a win in seven matches (D1, L6). Despite propping up the table, they are only three points shy of safety ahead of the round, but the manner of recent performances suggests  Christophe Pélissier’s men have little cause for optimism. This is in light of losing their past four league games without scoring, and they could now become the fourth Ligue 1 team to suffer five consecutive defeats without finding the net in the top-flight in 2025.[/p]
[p]It’s been a disastrous recent run for Lyon who have won just one of their last six Ligue 1 matches (D2, L3). That recent streak extends to just two wins in eight when accounting for European action, while they now sit seventh pre-round, having shared top spot with Paris Saint-Germain before this troublesome run. This looks like a favourable fixture in which to get back on track, but it should be noted that they are winless from their four away games against sides who start the weekend below them in the table (D2, L2). [/p]
[p]Head-to-Head History[/p]
[p]Auxerre have struggled against Lyon in recent years, winning just one of the previous six meetings between the two sides (D1, L4). That is caveated by the fact that the last four H2Hs at this venue have been split, with both sides enjoying two wins apiece. [/p]
[p]Hot Stats and Streaks[/p]
[p]The last five H2Hs hosted by Auxerre featured over 2.5 goals. [/p]
[p]Auxerre are the only Ligue 1 side yet to score beyond the 75th minute (GA: 4). [/p]

[p]Auxerre and Lyon have been involved in 340 fouls each in Ligue 1 this season, more than any other sides.[/p]
[p]Key Players to Watch and Missing Players[/p]
[p]Auxerre forward Lassine Sinayoko scored in this fixture last season, and will be aiming to open his account in November after three combined goals for club and country last month. Corentin Tolisso recently returned from injury, and his four goals across all competitions this season have all come before half-time.[/p]
[p]Auxerre’s Francisco Sierralta picked up another yellow card last time out and will miss this match through suspension. Nicolas Tagliafico is also absent for Lyon after being sent off against PSG. [/p]
