- KO: 14:00 UK / 15:00 CET
- Venue: Stade de l'Abbé-Deschamps
The Stade de l'Abbé-Deschamps is the venue for a Ligue 1 contest on Sunday afternoon as Auxerre hosts Lyon.
Auxerre comes into this fixture in desperate form, with the hosts sitting bottom of the division, and winless since September. Lyon have endured their own winless streak, with the visitors failing to claim victory in their last four games.
Lyon have had the better of past encounters, including a 3:1 win at this venue last season, and with the hosts in such desperate form, a repeat outcome is expected this weekend.

Ligue 1
Auxerre and Lyon have met on just four occasions since 2012. Lyon claimed two wins while Auxerre picked up one victory including a 3:1 win at this venue last season.
Auxerre team overview
Auxerre face their first Ligue 1 fixture since the international break winless in seven league games played since the end of September. Christophe Pélissier's side slipped to a dismal 2:0 defeat at Angers in their most recent fixture a fortnight ago.
Since a 1:0 win against Lorient on the opening day of the season, Auxerre have picked up just four points from 11 Ligue 1 matches. The hosts have now lost six of their seven most recent league games, picking up just one point in those fixtures.
A lack of firepower has been a big issue for the home side. Auxerre scored just four goals in six home Ligue 1 games this season, while they have lost each of their last three games at Stade de l'Abbé-Deschamps.
Head coach Pélissier has four injury concerns this weekend. Lasso Coulibaly and Telli Siwe are both ruled out, while Francisco Sierralta and Oussama El Azzouzi face late fitness tests.

Lyon team overview
Lyon make the trip to Stade de l'Abbé-Deschamps having failed to win any of their last four competitive matches. Les Gones slipped to a painful 3:2 home reversal against Ligue 1 champions PSG before the international break with João Neves stoppage-time goal breaking Lyon hearts at Groupama Stadium.
A lack of discipline has proved costly for Paulo Fonseca's side, with the visitors seeing red in each of their last three winless Ligue 1 games.
Despite their lack of winning form, Lyon will feel confident of picking up the points on Sunday. Les Gones claimed wins in four of their last six games against Auxertre.
Head coach Fonseca is unable to call on several first-team players this weekend. Orel Mangala, Malick Fofana and Ernest Nuamah are all ruled out with injury issues while Tyler Morton and Nicolás Tagliafico are both suspended.
Hans Hateboer and top scorer Pavel Šulc will be assessed closer to kick-off.

Prediction
Despite the absence of some important attacking threats, Lyon should still have enough in reserve to claim victory against an out-of-form Auxerre side.
An away win is my top tip for Sunday's Ligue 1 encounter.
Three Reasons Why We Expect Lyon to Win
- Auxerre lost 6 of their last 7 matches
- Auxerre lost their last 3 home matches
- Lyon won 4 of their last 6 matches against Auxerre
