Auxerre vs Lille prediction: FRANCE: Ligue 1 betting tips on match 2025-12-13 16:15.
[p]After a much-needed win last weekend, Auxerre host Lille, who have experienced plenty of struggles in front of goal on their travels lately.[/p]
[p]Match News and Current Form[/p]
[p]A 3-1 home win over fellow strugglers Metz last week made it three Ligue 1 games unbeaten for Auxerre  (D2), and they now target a fourth successive top-flight outing without defeat for only the second time in 2025. The three points last weekend also ended a run of nine matches without a victory (D3, L6), meaning that AJA are off the foot of the table for the first time since late October as Christophe Pélissier’s side look to record back-to-back wins at the Stade Abbé-Deschamps for the first time since November 2024.[/p]
[p]Although Lille suffered a 1-0 loss at Young Boys in the UEFA Europa League on Thursday, they have won their last three Ligue 1 matches, with clean sheets in the last two. Last weekend saw them beat third-placed Marseille 1-0, leaving Bruno GĂ©nĂ©sio’s men in fourth with a five-point buffer to the chasing pack ahead of the round. The Mastiffs also won their last league away game 1-0, but that’s their only victory in their last five matches on the road in all competitions (L4), with all four defeats seeing them fail to score.[/p]
[p]Head-to-Head History[/p]
[p]Lille are unbeaten in their last eight Ligue 1 meetings with Auxerre (W4, D4), with AJA’s last top-flight H2H win coming way back in 2010.[/p]
