Auxerre-Lyon: decisive shock in Ligue 1

The 29th day of Ligue 1 will see AJ Auxerre and Olympique Lyonnais face each other on Sunday 13 April 2025 at 8:45 pm at the stadium of the Abbé-Deschamps. This meeting, of crucial importance for both teams, is expected to be a real shock within the championship. Auxerre, currently ranked in 10th place with 38 points, will foster the ambition to consolidate his position and get closer to qualifying places for European competitions, while Olympique Lyonnais, 7th with 48 points, hopes to become a permanent member of the top 5. The recent performances of the two teams suggest an intense match, with significant defensive strength among the Bourguignons and a prolific attack on the Lyonnais, although the latter have also shown weaknesses in defence.

The history of the confrontations between the two teams is in favour of Olympique Lyonnais, who won three victories in five matches, against only one for Auxerre and one draw. Nevertheless, AJ Auxerre has been surprised several times, and local players will try to repeat this feat. The game will be broadcast live on the DAZN platform, allowing spectators to follow the sport event in high quality. Both teams will face the lack of key players, with several injuries affecting the Auxerrois group and the unavailability of Mr. Fofana and E. Nuamah on the Lyon side.

This duel promises a show full of emotions, where each team will align its best elements in the hope of achieving a precious victory. The kick-off of this meeting, potentially decisive for the continuation of the Ligue 1 season, is scheduled at 8:45 p.m., and will be exciting. The fans are therefore expected to attend this sporting battle which may well upset the current championship rankings.
