Auxerre challenges Lille at Abbé-Deschamps. Between the invincibility of the Mastiffs and the solidity of Auxerre at home, the spectacle promises to be there!
Auxerre welcomes Lille this Friday evening at the Stade de l’Abbé-Deschamps, in a crucial duel for two teams with contrasting dynamics in Ligue 1.
Auxerre on relaunch
Promoted this season, Auxerre surprised at the start of the championship, defying pessimistic predictions with impressive performances, including a resounding victory in Marseille. But since December, the magic seems to have dissipated. With only two points taken in four games and a surprise elimination in the Coupe de France against Dunkirk, Christophe Pelissier and his men are struggling to regain their former glory.
Find the best deals
Their last outing against Strasbourg, where they led before collapsing in the second half to lose 3-1, symbolizes their recent difficulties. Now 9th, the Auxerrois find themselves equidistant from the European podium and the red zone. However, their strength at home could be their salvation. With 17 points gleaned at Abbé-Deschamps, only PSG and Nice are doing better in Ligue 1. A victory against Lille would revive their hopes.
Lille in search of history
For their part, Bruno Genesio’s Mastiffs have the opportunity to equal a record more than 40 years old: a series of 19 consecutive matches without defeat. Already undefeated in 18 matches in all competitions, Lille approach this trip with confidence, even if their series remains marked by a high number of draws.
The latest, against Nantes (1-1), illustrates their inability to convert their domination into victories, a problem which slows down their ambitions to catch up with Marseille and Monaco in the rankings. But with only one defeat in their last 12 matches played on a Friday evening, Lille appreciates these meetings in the spotlight.
Between an Auxerre team determined to return to success and the Mastiffs ready to write history, this confrontation promises to be exciting and could redistribute the cards in the fight for European places.
