Lyon will look to stay in the Champions League berth when they host Auxerre, after a thrilling 2-1 win over PSG boosted confidence in their top-four push. Given the huge gap in quality between the two sides, we predict a 2-1 home win. Les Gone sit on 1.10 points per game across their last 10 matches, scoring 1.10 goals per game, but remain inconsistent with a 20% win rate and 1.20 xG at home. Midfielder Khalis Merah is likely to miss out, though Lyon’s attacking depth should cover his absence. Olympique Lyonnais have BTTS in 60% of games and concede 1.20 goals on average, showing defensive gaps despite strong moments.
Auxerre enter after a 2-2 draw with Monaco, desperate for survival, with Donovan Leon and Fredrik Opeegard doubtful due to injury knocks. The visitors average 1.20 points per game, 1.10 goals scored, and 40% BTTS overall, but away games rise to 80% BTTS. Head-to-head strongly favours Lyon with 58% wins, 83% over 2.5 goals, and 67% BTTS across 12 meetings.
Given Lyon's superior quality and home edge despite inconsistency, we believe that there is big value in betting on Home Win. Additionally, Lyon Over 1.5 and Over 2.5 goals total bets are worth considering as 83% of their H2H meetings have featured 3 or more goals.
This Ligue 1 match will be played on Saturday 25 April 2026 at 14:00.
