Auxerre to Win

Reason for tip

Auxerre, 11th in Ligue 1 last season after promotion, are backed to beat newly promoted Lorient at home. Christophe Pelissier’s side earned 27 of their 42 points at Stade de l’Abbe-Deschamps, and their strong home form gives them the edge against his former club.

Auxerre 2-1

Reason for tip

Auxerre’s last three Ligue 1 openers have seen over 2.5 goals, and Lorient’s lack of investment could leave them vulnerable. Auxerre’s ability to win close, open games supports this predicted scoreline.

Home form can carry Auxerre once more

Auxerre should be backed to get a home win over Lorient in Ligue 1 on Sunday.

After sealing promotion from Ligue 2 in 2023/24, Auxerre enjoyed a solid season back in the French top flight last term, picking up 42 points to finish in 11th place.

They dropped off in the final weeks once survival was assured and European football became a remote possibility, but it was an encouraging campaign for Christophe Pelissier’s men, who did the bulk of their winning at home, claiming 27 points at Stade de l’Abbe-Deschamps.

Pelissier’s former club, Lorient, will bid to emulate Auxerre in staying up after promotion from Ligue 2 last season, but a lack of investment is a concern for the second-tier winners.

The hosts may be able to edge out Lorient in what should be an open game, with over 2.5 goals in Auxerre’s last three Ligue 1 opening games. A 2-1 home win is the correct-score pick.
