Lille's European Push Continues at Auxerre's Expense
Lille’s attacking verve against Auxerre’s defensive frailties feels like a mismatch. The key matchup will be Jonathan David’s pace against the Auxerre backline, which has conceded 56 goals this season. Lille comes in on a three-match unbeaten run, including a convincing 3-1 win over Monaco. Auxerre, meanwhile, has only managed one win in their last seven Ligue 1 outings, a dismal 1-0 victory against bottom-table Angers.
Thing is, Lille simply has too much firepower. David, with 22 goals in all competitions, should feast. Auxerre’s fight for survival will be tough.
Prediction: Lille wins 3-0.
