Auxerre desperately need points on Saturday, Apr 17 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). Lorient, meanwhile, arrive in mixed form (0W 1D 0L) — actually the better-performing side in recent weeks.

In 10 previous meetings, Auxerre lead 4–2 with 4 draws. Their last encounter ended in a 2–2 draw.

Verdict: This looks an evenly matched contest. Home advantage gives Auxerre a slight edge, but Lorient are capable of causing problems. A draw would be a fair result.
