• With its series of 6 matches without defeat, OL wants to continue its comeback in Ligue 1.
  • Penultimate in the championship, Auxerre have taken only 3 points in the last 10 days.
  • The match will be played at the Stade de l'Abbé-Deschamps, which can accommodate 18,541 spectators.

After a complicated start to the season, Olympique Lyonnais began to string together results to match its ambitions. The victories against Lille, in the Coupe de France, and Lens, in Ligue 1, allowed Les Gones to gain confidence for the second half of the season.

Opposite, Auxerre is struggling in the league, where its last success dates back to October 30. An eternity.

Lyon finally attacking

Led by its scoring duo Lacazette - Cherki, scorer in the last three meetings, OL have regained their health.

In the absence of the former Gunner, it is the 21-year-old Swedish recruit Amin Sarr who should start. Arrived in the transfer window for 11 million euros, he intends to prove that he has the level to impose himself at the Gones.

Jeffinho will be on the bench. Moussa Dembélé should be preferred to Bradley Barcola because of his qualities as a rebounder.

Still suffering from pneumonia, Laurent Blanc will not be traveling to Burgundy. It is his assistant Franck Passi who will be on the bench.

After beating Troyes (1-3), Lille on penalties and Lens (2-1), Lyon wants to chain a 4th consecutive success to draw a line under the crisis and why not ahead of Lorient and Nice, respectively 8th and 7th with 1 and 2 points ahead.

5th defense and 7th attack of Ligue 1, Lyon can go for Europe if it contains its improvement.

Auxerre in the red

3rd worst attack and 3rd worst defense in the championship, AJA is currently second to last and relegated to Ligue 1. Eliminated in the Coupe de France by the little thumb Rodez and unable to win in the league for 4 months, there is urgency for the Auxerrois.

In the last match against Angers, good last in the table, Abline could have given victory to his team on penalty but the crossbar decided otherwise.

Auxerre are now chasing the points. Against Lyon, the Burgundians will have to do better than usual in defence, otherwise they will suffer against Lyon who return to the forefront.

After ending a series of 7 consecutive defeats in Ligue 1, against Reims two days ago, the Auxerrois have chained two draws, which has made them advance at the small trot. A win against Lyon would be a small feat considering the current form of the teams.

Authors of 3 goals in Ligue 1 this season, Nuno Da Costa and M'Baye Niang will be the main dangers for the Gones on Friday night.

The Burgundians are only one point away from Troyes, first non-relegable, but they must quickly do better or risk getting bogged down in the depths of the ranking with Angers.
