Olympique Lyonnais prepares to face AJ Auxerre on the 29th day of Ligue 1, a game of crucial importance in the qualifying race for the Champions League. Following an intense European match against Manchester United, Lyon players will have to mobilize their efforts to win a victory that would allow them to climb to fourth place in the standings, taking advantage of the Strasbourg draw against Nice. However, this meeting will be a delicate one, the AJ Auxerre presenting a remarkable form with four victories, one draw and one defeat in his last six games, making the offensive task Lyon potentially arduous.

Despite a busy schedule and accumulated fatigue, OL will benefit from Tanner Tessman’s return, which could form an interesting duo with Nemaja Matic in the middle of the field. However, Paulo Fonseca’s offensive device will have to deal with the absence of several key players, including Ernest Nuamahet Malick Fofana, whose return is scheduled for the next game in Old Trafford. Alexandre Lacazette could return to a position after being left on the bench during the previous meeting, while Alejandro Gomes Rodriguez could be an interesting option due to the absence of Enzo Molebe.

The AJ Auxerre – OL meeting is scheduled this Sunday 13 April at 8:45 pm at the Stade Abbé Deschamps, after the requests of Matthieu Louis-Jean allowed the start time of the meeting to shift. The public will be able to follow the game exclusively on the DAZN platform, which holds the rights to broadcast eight out of nine games each Ligue 1 weekend. Stéphanie Frappart officera as an arbiter of this crucial meeting for the European ambitions of Olympique Lyonnais.
