AJ Auxerre is going head to head with Olympique Lyonnais starting on 17 Feb 2023 at 20:00 UTC at Stade l’Abbe-Deschamps stadium, Auxerre city, France. The match is a part of the Ligue 1. AJ Auxerre played against Olympique Lyonnais in 1 matches this season. Currently, AJ Auxerre rank 19th, while Olympique Lyonnais hold 9th position
Auxerre have a chance to defeat Lyon in a Ligue 1 affair for the first time in over a decade when the two sides face off at Stade de l’Abbe Deschamps on Friday. Last weekend, AJA extended their winless run in the top flight to 10 consecutive matches, drawing Angers 1-1 as they remain in the relegation zone, while OL are unbeaten in four successive domestic outings, defeating Lens 2-1 on Sunday.
Try as they might, nothing seems to be working for Auxerre domestically this season, as they find themselves four points behind Troyes in the race to remain in Ligue 1 beyond 2022-23. On Sunday, the club from Burgundy were their own worst enemy, scoring an own goal two minutes into their match against last-place Angers and squandering an opportunity to claim three points when they missed a penalty kick in injury time.
There was a lot of excitement among the Auxerre supporters heading into their first Ligue 1 campaign in over a decade, but their current domestic season is looking eerily similar to their previous one in 2011-12, with AJA currently on their longest winless run in the top-flight since failing to triumph in 12 successive encounters between December 2011 and March 2012.
