Expect a thrilling atmosphere at Groupama Stadium as Lyon look to get back to winning ways when they welcome Auxerre. Les Gones were held to a 1-1 draw by Le Havre last time out, but they remain a dangerous attacking side, averaging 2.17 goals per game across their last 10 home matches. Lyon have also won 50% of those fixtures, while their home games produce an impressive 3.67 goals on average. Fofana has departed for Sunderland, with Pavel Sulc pushing for a starting berth and Lois Openda set to lead the line.
Auxerre, meanwhile, have suffered consecutive defensive setbacks, conceding five goals against Toulouse before a 1-3 defeat to Angers. Their recent away matches have averaged 3.14 goals, with Auxerre scoring 1.57 and conceding 1.57 per game. Will Still's men have also found the net in every one of their last 10 matches, while BTTS has landed in 70% of their overall fixtures. Oppegard and Zossou are pushing for starts, and there are no fresh injury concerns. As Will Still is well known for his attacking football, a high-scoring affair is on the cards at Groupama Stadium.
Considering Lyon's home form and dominant H2H record, we believe that there is big value in betting on Home Win, alongside Lyon Over 1.5 and Over 2.5 goals total (85% of the last 13 meetings produced at least three goals).
This Ligue 1 match will be played on Friday 4 September 2026 at 18:00.
