Lyon Attack Meets Auxerre Defence Leak

Lyon score regularly at home and Auxerre concede heavily on their travels, setting up chances for early goals. Past meetings between the two clubs have produced multiple goals in the vast majority of cases. Auxerre’s recent results show no clean sheets and consistent scoring from their forwards even away from home. Lyon have avoided blank sheets in attack across their games while keeping concessions low enough to stay competitive. Auxerre arrive on a run of defeats that leaves their back line exposed for long periods. Both sides tend to push forward without much caution, adding to the likelihood of several goals before full time.
