Auxerre vs LOSC Lille Prediction and Betting Tips | January 10th 2025

The action continues in round 17 of French Ligue 1 as Auxerre play host to LOSC Lille at the Stade de l'Abbe-Deschamps on Friday. Both sides failed to secure victory in their respective opening games of the new year and will be looking to get one over the other this weekend.

Auxerre were left empty-handed yet again as they suffered a 3-1 defeat against Strasbourg at the Stade de la Meinau last Sunday.

Christophe Pélissier’s men have now gone five straight games without a win, claiming two draws and losing three, including a disappointing 1-0 defeat to Ligue 2 outfit Dunkerque in their Coupe de France last-64 clash on December 22.

Auxerre have picked up 21 points from their 16 Ligue 1 matches so far to sit ninth in the league standings but could move level with seventh-placed Lens with a win on Friday.

Like this weekend’s hosts, LOSC Lille were denied a dream start to the new year as they were held to a 1-1 draw by Nantes at the Stade Pierre Mauroy last Saturday.

However, with that result, Bruno Genesio’s men are now unbeaten in 18 consecutive matches across all competitions, claiming 10 wins and eight draws since a 2-0 loss against Sporting Lisbon in the UEFA Champions League back in September.

LOSC Lille have picked up 28 points from 16 Ligue 1 matches to sit fourth in the league standings, level on points with fifth-placed Olympique Lyon.
