Lorient welcome Auxerre at Stade du Moustoir, Lorient on Saturday, Jan 2 at 5:00 PM in a Ligue 1 fixture that's tighter on paper than the positions suggest — just 1 point split them in the table.
Lorient come into this fixture in mixed form (2W 1D 2L). Auxerre travel in mixed form (2W 0D 3L), which may hand the initiative to the hosts. Lorient won their last outing, while Auxerre suffered defeat — home advantage backed by momentum.
In 10 previous meetings, Lorient lead 2–4 with 4 draws. Their last encounter ended in a 2–2 draw.
Verdict: This looks an evenly matched contest. Home advantage gives Lorient a slight edge, but Auxerre are capable of causing problems. A draw would be a fair result.
