Auxerre return to home soil to face Lorient at 5:15 PM today in what could be a turning point in their Ligue 1 campaign.

Auxerre are under pressure to rediscover form after a difficult run. Lorient will be hoping to turn things around after a tough stretch.

Historically, both teams are level with 3 wins each in 10 past encounters. 4 of those have ended in draws. Their most recent meeting saw Auxerre edged it 0-1.

Auxerre's preferred 3-4-2-1 shape may stretch the field, while Lorient's 3-4-2-1 setup looks built for discipline.

Expect a tight, tactical affair. Auxerre may hold the edge at Stade de l'Abbe-Deschamps, but Lorient's quality on the break shouldn't be underestimated.
