Match announcement
Auxerre
FranceCurrent form
With the first day of winter, Auxerre began a slump in play that continues to this day. The team has not been able to win for five matches in a row (three defeats and two draws). They even lost in the French Cup to Dunkirk (0:1), the match with which was the last in 2024. And the opponent plays in a lower league, plus the team played the match on its home field.
In the first meeting of 2025, Christophe Pélissier's protégés also failed , losing to Strasbourg with a score of 1:3. The hosts of the upcoming match scored first in the 14th minute, but in the stoppage time of the first half, the opponent equalized the score, and in the second 45 minutes, Auxerre completely lost ground and conceded two goals, to which they were never able to respond.
The team has been unable to win three games in a row at home (two draws and a loss). Considering the strong opponent they will have to play, it is unlikely that the club will be able to break their losing streak.
Auxerre have another unsightly record. In the top 10, they are the only team that has currently conceded more goals than they have scored. In all their matches, they have scored 24 times while conceding 26.

Koulibaly, Osho, Danois, N'Gatta and Hoever are all injured and will not take to the field.

Lille
FranceCurrent form
Lille have found good form and have not lost in 17 matches in a row (since September 17 last year). But the start of 2025 cannot be called successful, because the Great Danes played a draw with Nantes (1:1) on their home field, which is languishing at the bottom of the standings, although Bruno Genesio's charges won in all respects: 69% ball possession, 13 shots on target against six for the opponent. The mood was fighting, but the ball just did not fly into the opponent's goal. If the visitors also play in the upcoming match, then the chances of success will be quite good.
The visitors also play in the Champions League and perform quite well in the European tournament. After six rounds played, the team is in eighth place in the standings, having 13 points. Five other teams that are higher in the ranking have the same number of points, that is, only by additional components the Doges are not in the top 3.
The club has quite a few injured players, but the players are used to playing in such a lineup. In addition, Englishman Angell Gomes is returning to the team, having recovered at the end of December, but the coaching staff did not release the player in order to avoid a relapse.
Disqualifications and injuries
Fernandez-Pardo, Santos, I. Mbappe, Umtiti and Bentaleb are injured and will not take to the field.
Interesting trends for betting
- Lille are unbeaten for 17 matches in a row
- The visitors have scored in 13 previous matches
- The Great Danes have failed to keep a clean sheet in five of their last six matches.
Probable line-up: Chevalier - Meunier, Alexandro, Diakite, Gudmundsson - Bouhaddi, B. Andre - Bakker, E. Gomez, Sahraoui - David.

1.85Bet Lille to win first half

2.85Tip and bets
Lille are clearly very angry that they were unable to beat a team from the bottom of the rankings on their home field in the last round, so the players will go out to the upcoming match charged exclusively with victory. Auxerre is currently far from its ideal form, and defeats in the last two matches to teams that are significantly lower in playing class than their upcoming counterparts indicate that the hosts will suffer another fiasco and continue their winless streak.
Our prediction is Lille's victory with odds of 1.89
Bet on total
In seven of the last six head-to-head matches, both the hosts and the visitors of the upcoming match managed to score, but Auxerre's game at the moment leaves much to be desired. The team did not score against such opponents as Dunkirk and Toulouse in their last defeats, and Lille won three of their last five away victories without scoring. Such indicators lead to the idea that only the visitors will score in the match. We will place another bet on this event with excellent odds.
Our prediction is that at least one will not score with odds of 2.20
Bet on corners
Let's look at the head-to-head statistics once again. In four of the five previous head-to-head encounters, the opponents took no more than eight corner kicks between them. Today, we don't expect an open game either, so we'll bet on the teams taking a few corner kicks between them again.
Our prediction is under 9.5 corners with odds of 1.72
