Lyon vs Auxerre PREDICTION & BETTING TIPS - 31/08/2022

After sharing the spoils with Reims at the weekend, Lyon will look to return to winning ways in Ligue 1 when they welcome Auxerre to their Parc Olympique Lyonnais on Matchday 3. Les Gones aim to keep their 100% record at home intact, and they are likely to go all guns blazing at the newcomers. All Houssem Aouar, Julian Pollersbeck, and Jerome Boateng are sidelined with injuries, while there are no suspended players in the home team.

Auxerre, on the other hand, aim to build on back-to-back wins over Montpellier and Strasbourg. Jean-Marc Furlan’s troops have been in a fine form of late, but seeing that Lyon are a real force to be reckoned with at home, we predict that the visitors are going to return to Burgundy empty-handed. In their last encounter at the venue Lyon defeated Auxerre 2-1, and we predict that the history is going to repeat itself. Mbaye Niang is banned for the match, while all Julian Jeanvier, Gaetan Charbonnier, and Theo Pellenard are out of contention with injuries for the away side.
