On June 3, Stade de l'Abbé-Deschamps (Auxerre) will host the match of the 38th round of the French Ligue 1, in which Auxerre will compete with Lens. The battle will start at 21:00 CET.

Auxerre

The team returned to the top division of France after a 10-year pause in the previous year. Moreover, Pélissier’s wards were promoted only from the 3rd place by means of the play-offs. And “the Burgundians” were initially considered as the outsiders of the division. Nevertheless, the team, as for a beginner, showed decent statistics. The team seemed to relax ahead of schedule, or maybe it just lost the shape only after 3 victories in a row in April. As a result, Auxerre took only 3 points, ending the confrontations equally in draws and defeats, in 6 previous matches. Even after that, it turns out to occupy the so-called “borderline”, 16th place. Nantes is 2 points behind, and there is still a real threat of saying goodbye to the Ligue 1. Thus, the team needs at least not to lose or, which is better, to win in the previous round.

Lens

The club had spent a great season. Taking into account that only unattainable PSG, which is out of competition, is higher, it was simply impossible to achieve more. “The Blood and Golds” had made a kind of progress before: first, they returned to the League 1, and then took a high enough, 7th place a year ago there. It was more than real that Frank Hayes’ wards would be able to add in the game. Still, they surpassed even the most optimistic predictions, having won the status of the vice-champions of France ahead of schedule. And even now, Openda (the Belgian player has already scored 2 dozen goals) and the company continue to win – 10 times in 11 matches. The team lost only to PSG, but after that it took 6 victories in a row, including the battles with Marseille and Monaco. Previous Saturday brought a success in the struggle against Ajaccio with a 3-0 score at the home arena.

The statistics of head-to-head matches

Lens, speaking about 5 previous head-to-head matches, did not win only once, when everything ended with a 0-0 draw. The current one brought one more victory with a 1-0 score in January.

Predictions

Bookmakers consider the guest to be the favourite of the following battle, which is justified by the results of the previous rounds. Still, Auxerre needs points, thus, we use a neutral bet on “total: over 2.5” (odd: 1.727).
