Auxerre vs Lens Betting Tips and Prediction June 3rd. This Saturday at the Stade de I’Abbe Deschamps in Ligue 1, Auxerre will host Lens.
This season, Auxerre and Lens have experienced various campaigns. The home team is currently in 16th place and needs at least a point or a win to guarantee their stay in Ligue 1 for 2023–24.
While this was happening, Lens had its best season in a long time. Now that they are assured of placing second behind champions Paris St. Germain, they will advance directly to the group stage of the UEFA Champions League the following year.
Auxerre vs Lens – Important Points:
The previous meeting between these teams saw Lens prevail 1-0 over a downsized Auxerre squad. With just one loss in their last six meetings, back in July 2017, Lens has a solid recent record against Auxerre.
Because of their achievement this year, Lens will participate in the Champions League again in 2023–24. They last participated in the largest competition in Europe in the 2002–03 season, exiting at the group stage.
Even if they lose this weekend, Auxerre can still stay in Ligue 1, but they will need Nantes to lose for this to happen. With two more goals than Auxerre and five fewer goals allowed, Nantes is only two points behind them and has a big advantage in goal differential.
With six straight victories under their belts, Lens has only lost one of their last 11 games. They most recently defeated Ajaccio 3-0.
Brice Samba of Lens has managed to create 15 shutouts this season, which is more than any other custodian in Ligue 1.
Auxerre vs Lens – The Prediction:
Auxerre will be driven to earn at least a point in this match because they cannot afford to take their success for granted if they wish to stay in Ligue 1.
However, they must pass an incredibly challenging test. All season long, Lens has been in excellent form and has given Paris St. Germain a serious challenge for the championship. More specifically, they have won six straight games.
Given that Auxerre has lost their past six games, it is difficult to see how they will succeed today, putting their future in the hands of Nantes.
