Auxerre desperately need points on Saturday, Feb 27 at 5:00 PM in the Ligue 1. With the team sitting in the bottom three, this is quickly becoming a must-win situation.

Auxerre come into this fixture in mixed form (0W 0D 1L). Lille, meanwhile, arrive in mixed form (1W 0D 0L) — actually the better-performing side in recent weeks. Auxerre head into this on the back of a defeat, while Lille arrive off a win — momentum clearly with the visitors.

Despite playing at home, Auxerre face a side that has dominated this fixture historically. Lille have won 5 of 10 encounters, with 4 draws. Their last encounter ended in Lille won 0–2. These two tend to produce goals — averaging 3.0 per game in recent meetings.

Verdict: Lille's quality should tell even on the road. Auxerre will push, but the visitors have too much class. Lille to win.
