French Ligue 1

A Sports Betting Pick by ArmchairPunter
Football : France: Ligue 1
Venue: Stade de l'Abbé-Deschamps
Sunday 23rd November 2025, 1400hrs (GMT)
Auxerre will be seeking to put an end to a miserable seven-game winless run in the French top flight when the Ligue 1 action returns from the international break as the hosts have slumped to six losses and a draw in recent times.
Unsurprisingly, Auxerre find themselves sitting bottom of the pile as a result of what has been a torrid time for Christophe Pélissier’s side and within their six recent defeats, three of these have been inflicted upon the hosts at their Stade de l’Abbé-Deschamps.
Losses to the likes of Lens, Le Havre and Marseille respectively have contributed to Auxerre’s lowly standing in the Ligue 1 table, while the hosts’ record at home stands at 2-0-4 4/6 so far this season.
Lyon occupy 7th place heading into Sunday afternoon’s trip to the Stade de l’Abbé-Deschamps but although they have fared a whole lot better than their upcoming hosts, the fact still remains that Lyon have failed to win any of their previous four games in Ligue 1.
Draws with Paris FC and Brest along with back-to-back defeats before the international break at the hands of Real Betis (Europa League) and PSG (Ligue 1) have taken the wind out of the visitors’ sails in recent weeks.
Results away from home have also produced an indifferent range of returns for Paulo Fonseca’s side as they have won, drawn and lost in equal measure on their travels so far in this season’s campaign with an overall away record which stands at 2-2-2 8/9.
The Betting Verdict
Auxerre have lost just once in the last three meetings against Lyon and as the visitors have been unconvincing on the road so far this term, this gives the hosts a chance of getting something from this clash.
The Pick :
Auxerre 1-1 Lyon
