Lyon
LLDWW
Lyon have led a season of mixed results in terms of performances. They've however rekindled form at the right time by pushing up into third place on the log with 54 points from their 30 encounters. Since the goalless draw with Angers at the beginning of April, the hosts’ have now taken consecutive victories over Lorient (2-0) and more impressively away at the Parc des Princes against league leaders PSG (2-1) At the Groupama Stadium, Lyon generate one of Ligue 1's most passionate atmospheres.
Auxerre
LWDDD
Auxerre, the Burgundy club with one of French football's proudest histories have struggled for the bulk of this campaign and find themselves in a relegation battle at the moment. The disappointing 25 points picked up from their 30 fixtures this season pits them in 16th place and within the drop zone. Away at the Groupama, with its 58,000 capacity and Lyon's motivated crowd, Auxerre face a very difficult Saturday assignment.
Prediction
Lyon's home advantage at the Groupama and Auxerre's poor recent form gives them the clear advantage as favourites.
