Auxerre desperately need points on Saturday, May 1 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). Lyon, 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 Lyon arrive off a win — momentum clearly with the visitors.

Despite playing at home, Auxerre face a side that has dominated this fixture historically. Lyon have won 6 of 10 encounters, with 2 draws. Their last encounter ended in Auxerre won 2–3. These two tend to produce goals — averaging 3.6 per game in recent meetings.

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