Prediction: 3-1
Auxerre
After dropping two points in a 2-2 draw with Strasbourg, Lens will look to give fans yet another reason for celebration when they take on Auxerre on Saturday afternoon. Lens are six points behind league leaders PSG, but the team’s main goal is to book a place in the Champions League. The good news for the hosts is that midfielder Salis Abdul Samed is back from suspension, but all Adam Buksa, Jimmy Cabot, and Wuilker Farinez should miss out with injuries. Yaya-Kader Fofana remains on the sidelines through illness.
Christophe Pelissier’s troops, on the other hand, are on a four-game losing run in the French top flight. Auxerre experienced all sorts of problems at the back in a 5-0 loss to Toulouse, and we do not believe that they are capable of spoiling Lens’ party at Stade Bollaert-Delelis. Both Joly and Pellenard are sidelined with injuries for the away team.
Highlighted Player (Seko Fofana):
Born in Paris on May 7, 1995, Seko Fofana is a midfielder who plays for Serie A side Udinese. Fofana started his career at the youth teams of Paris FC and in 2010 he moved to Lorient. After spending four years at the club, the French footballer joined Premier League side Manchester City in the 2013/2014 season.
Despite being a Man City player from 2014 to 2016, Seko Fofana did not see any game action in the English top flight with the Citizens as he was immediately sent on loan to Fulham (2014/2015). He played for Bastia on loan in the 2015/2016 season as well and in the summer of 2016 he signed a five-year deal with Italian side Udinese.
You should know that Fofana scored five goals in 22 appearances for the Zebrette in the 2016/2017 Serie A campaign. His contract with the Serie A team should expire on June 30, 2022. Due to his dual citizenship the Udinese footballer is eligible to play for France and Ivory Coast at senior level.
