Auxerre-Lille is a match of the thirty-second day of Ligue 1 and is played on Saturday at 5pm: statistics, likely formations, predictions.
The three wins in a row won in the last three outings have allowed Auxerre to move away, though not definitively, from the hot spots in the standings. It would take a couple more wins for the hosts to be almost certain of staying in Ligue 1 next season. Although now comes Lille, in the middle of the race for a European spot.
In fact, the Rossoneri are currently fifth in the standings and aim to go to Europe next year. Maybe even in the Europa League since the fourth place, the one occupied by Monaco, is six points away. Difficult, of course, to retake the Monaco lineup. And it must also, and above all, watch its back for Fonseca’s troop, given that Rennes attacked and especially Lyon could also come back. We know full well the strength of Blanc’s coached team – and history – so never question what could happen.
Surely, at another time of the season, the away win was predictable almost in fluency. But seeing the moment of form that Auxerre is going through, it will be difficult for Lille to come home with the full stake. On the other hand, of course, it will be equally impossible (perhaps this term is exaggerated, but it is a very remote thing) for the hosts to be able to post their fourth win in a row. In short, it appears to be a written match.

The prediction
One goal per team for sure. Yes, both Auxerre and Lille should find the goal in this match. What’s next. And then it could end in a draw. Yes, a point apiece that would surely be greeted with a wider smile by the hosts.
