Lorient vs Auxerre Prediction and Betting Tips 1 March 2026

Lorient continue their strong Ligue 1 campaign as they host Auxerre at Stade du Moustoir. With les Merlus being in a much better form than the visitors, we predict a 2-1 home win. The hosts remain in impressive shape, collecting 2.30 points per game overall and boasting a home record of 2.50 points per game. Offensively, Lorient excel with 2.50 goals scored per match and a robust xG of 1.64, while defensively they remain solid, conceding just 0.90 goals per game. Doubts over Arsene Kouassi may see Bamo Meite step in, but the side’s attacking threat remains potent.

Auxerre, on the other hand, have struggled, averaging just 0.80 points per game and conceding 1.50 goals per match. Their away form is slightly better but still fragile, allowing 1.00 goal per game and scoring only 0.75 goals on the road. Their defensive lapses were exposed in a 3-0 defeat to Rennes.

Historically, these fixtures have been tight, with six draws in 14 encounters, but Lorient’s current momentum gives them the edge. Therefore, we are tempted to bet on Home Win, alongside Over 1.5 and Over 2.5 goals as both teams capable of finding the net.

This Ligue 1 match will be played on Sunday 1 March 2026 at 16:15.
