In the north of France, something quietly ambitious is brewing. LOSC Lille, once champions of Ligue 1 just a few seasons ago, are now on their way back to Europe's Elite. With a solid 14 wins, 8 draws, and 7 losses to date in the competition, Lille is placed 6th in the table standings, a case of potential versus strategic rebuilding.
In terms of recent results, the last five games have shown two losses, two wins, and a draw, which is a fair description of mixed form lately. They seem to be holding their own at home, though, where W-L-W-W-L describes a rollercoaster that teeters from resilience to vulnerability. Most recently, in what was a narrow yet gritty victory by a mile, Lille scraped through against sworn enemies RC Lens. Arguably, their 45% possession did tell a story; controlling the game was anything but scintillating, but they were effective: 6 corners, 5 shots on target, and just one yellow card in a performance that was organized and disciplined.
This side has great rising prospects mixed in with a few experienced leaders. Jonathan David leads their attack, while the new midfield engine Ngal'ayel Mukau—signed from Mechelen for €4 million—has turned heads since especially his double against Bologna, keeping in company with Bafodé Diakité and veteran B. Andre. This act shall render Lille's midfield a fair combination of prowess.

✈️ AJ Auxerre: form and statistics
The passage of AJ Auxerre through Ligue 1 has been a roller coaster ride from relegation struggle last season to a middle table calm this year. Famous Burgundy club now stands at 11th in the table with 10 wins, 8 draws, and 11 losses, quietly turning into one of the toughest sides to crack in the league.
Their form in the past five matches: two wins, two draws, and one loss shows a team full of confidence and identity. They have displayed determination away from home by taking points off their last five away games, drawing impressively in Marseille and winning in Lorient. Despite a 3-1 loss to Lyon in their last match, they managed to score through on-form forward Lassine Sinayoko, who is spearheading their attack. Despite having only 41% possession, they fought physically with 11 fouls and three yellow cards, showing they are far from overawed.
Auxerre's ascendancy builds on understated star players and tactical discipline. Gaëtan Perrin has been key to bringing attacks and set pieces forward, while Clément Akpa's always reliable midfield displays have caught the eyes of Everton and Wolves. Sinayoko is still the main threat, particularly on the counter. With laying the foundation for the future, there are talks to acquire left-back Frederik Oppegard from PSV.
They will look to secure safety early on, which means five matches to go and plays freely gives Auxerre a nasty bite. Lille is the favorite on paper; however, Auxerre has already made a case for being dangerous as an underdog this season-and looks to do so again.
AJ Auxerre Lineup
🔖 Expected Lineup (5-4-1): Donovan Leon, G. Mensah, C. Akpa, Jubal Junior, S. Diomande, K. Hoever, A. Onaiwu, Kevin Danois, A. Diousse, G. Perrin, L. Sinayoko
⛔️ Out: E. Owusu, Hamed Traoré, Gabriel Osho, L. Coulibaly
👤Head coach: Christophe Pélissier
