Lille - Auxerre prediction, H2H and probable lineups - April 20, 2025
The 30th round match of the French championship will take place on Sunday at the Pierre Mauroy Stadium, where the local Lille will host Auxerre. I suggest betting on the outcome of this clash with a good odds.
Match preview
Lille in the last round defeated Toulouse (2:1), extending their no-draw streak in Ligue 1 to 12 matches — purely combative: 7 victories and 5 defeats. This victory became key in the context of the fight for European competitions: the Mastiffs managed to regain their place in the top 5, which means the European zone is once again at their disposal.
Bruno Genesio's charges continue to impress with their defensive play quality — only the formidable PSG with their 26 conceded goals surpassed Lille in this component (the northerners have 31). The team is particularly confident at the Stade Pierre Mauroy, where they have won the last three matches, keeping clean sheets in two of them. In total, Lille has 5 wins in their last 6 Ligue 1 home matches, with only one defeat.
Auxerre, after two consecutive narrow victories in Ligue 1, stumbled in an away match against Lyon, losing 1:3. Nevertheless, the team did not leave the field without scoring — their scoring streak in the championship has reached five games in a row, indicating the stability of their attacking actions.
Despite the setback, the Burgundy team retained their 10th position in the table and continue to feel confident — the gap from the relegation playoff zone is a comfortable 11 points. The team shows good form: in the last 9 rounds, they have suffered only two defeats, while winning four times and drawing three times.
