Ligue 1 Betting Preview: Lyon vs Auxerre

Lyon take on Auxerre at Parc Olympique Lyonnais, with kick-off set for 09:00 on Saturday 25 April.

We don’t think Lyon and Auxerre will combine to score three or more. Therefore, we’ll head to the Total Goals market and wager on Under 2.5 which is available at odds of -115.

Lyon have triumphed in back-to-back Ligue 1 encounters. The latest was away from home where Paris Saint-Germain were beaten 2-1 at Parc des Princes. The Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes side recorded just 23% possession and had five shots on target, with Endrick and Afonso Moreira each scoring one goal.

AJ Auxerre drew on their travels in their previous game. A 2-2 scoreline was played out against Monaco at Stade Louis II. AJA were restricted to just 31% possession and had seven shots on goal, with Kevin Danois and Lassine Sinayoko both on target.

Head-to-Head Statistics

Lyon have not lost to Auxerre in the past three games, with the last clash seeing a 0-0 draw played out at Stade de l'Abbé-Deschamps. The previous 5 H2H games have ended in two Lyon victories, two draws and a solitary win for Auxerre.

Corners Prediction

Over 9.5 Corners -139

Lyon vs Auxerre Odds

The odds and lines below are updated regularly and may differ from the prices shown in our picks, which are captured at the time of publication.

Lyon are the skinniest price to succeed in this Ligue 1 clash, with the favourites afforded a 61% probability based on their -156 betting odds with the bookies. If you’re looking for an alternative angle, AJ Auxerre are trading at +410.

Lyon -0.75 at -119 means you split your Asian Handicap stake between -0.5 and -1. You ideally want a win by two goals or more against Auxerre, although a one-goal victory means a half-stake return and a refund with the other half.

If you want to bet on the number of goals, you can get similar odds on Under or Over 2.5 Goals. On the Both Teams to Score market, there isn’t much between the BTTS Yes and No options in terms of price.

It’s fantastic to find hundreds of markets on offer for Ligue 1 matches. You simply need to visit the best betting apps and select from the various football options that are presented.
