Auxerre vs Lyon Prediction: Auxerre are in big crisis

Auxerre vs Lyon: Prediction and odds on the Match on 23 November 2025

Auxerre will host Lyon at the Stade Abbe-Deschamps on Sunday, in the 13th round of Ligue 1, in a bid to end a long winless run that has kept them bottom of the table. Lyon lost their last match before the international break, but overall, they can be satisfied with their performance in the first third of the season - Fonseca's team are just two points behind the top four, and in this match, they are a huge favorite.

Auxerre: Form and Statistics

Auxerre have won just 7 points after 12 rounds and are currently in last 18th place in the table. They have scored just 7 goals so far, which is, quite logically, the worst attack in Ligue 1. This team have been playing very poorly since the start of the season, they are currently in disastrous form and are on a streak of four consecutive defeats. They have lost six of their last seven matches and can hardly take points in this match. The series of four consecutive defeats has not brought optimism among Auxerre fans. Also, they failed to score a goal in all four defeats. The defeats at home to Marseille and away to Strasbourg can be justified by the opponent's quality. Still, the failures against Le Havre and Angers have seriously jeopardized Pelissier's chances of survival in Ligue 1. However, the situation is not hopeless yet - a few good results could get them out of the relegation zone, as they are only three points behind a safe place. However, breaking a run of six matches without a win and three consecutive home defeats at the Stade Abbe-Deschamps will not be easy. Last season, in a more successful campaign, they suffered defeat against Lyon 1-3 at home and drew 2-2 away.

Lyon: Form and Statistics

After a very good start to the season, the Lions have had a somewhat poor run of results recently. They have not won in their last three Ligue 1 matches, and in the last round, they were defeated by PSG with a score of 2:3. Lyon are currently in 7th place with 20 points, and a victory in this match would leave them in the race with the leading teams in the table. They have only celebrated twice away from home this season, and this is an ideal opportunity to record their third victory away from home. They were on a three-match unbeaten streak before the defeat to PSG, winning five points, but they have won only once in their last six matches - a dramatic home victory over Strasbourg. The away form is a concern for Fonseca's team. Including Europe, they have not won away from home since the end of September. The closest they have come to victory was in a three-goal draw against Paris, which ended 3-3. Fonseca should note that his team have finished each of their last three matches with 10 men.

Auxerre vs Lyon match prediction, 23 November 2025

Both teams are struggling, but Lyon's slump seems less serious. They are expected to find a way to win this match again. This is also a match in which Auxerre can finally find a way to score after four rounds without scoring a goal. I expect the trend to continue with a lot of goals between these two teams, but I still think Lyon have much more quality to get all three points. We can expect more than three goals in this duel, scored by both teams.
