Editor's Prediction
Considering the current form of both teams and their head-to-head statistics, we can anticipate an exciting match with plenty of chances. Given Lyon's tendency for goal exchanges (in six of their last seven Ligue 1 matches), we suggest betting on both teams to score (yes). Auxerre are in good form and could upset the favorites at home, especially since Lyon are likely to rotate their squad ahead of their Europa League quarter-final second leg against Manchester United.No comments
