AJ Auxerre prepares to face LOSC in a difficult context

The AJ Auxerre goes to Lille this Sunday for the thirtieth day of Ligue 1, a match that is particularly important given its history with the LOSC. The Republican Yonne made this appointment a matter of concern, evoking a “trauma” related to the initial defeat of 4-1 in 2018.

Facing Bruno Genesio and his LOSC, AJ Auxerre faces a complicated context. Several executives were injured, weakening the bench and impacting the results. Christophe Pélissier, coach of the AJA, recognizes the difficulty of the situation.

“Our bench is insufficient to cope with such a disaster,” he says. The key players of the AJA, such as Leon, Perrini, Massengo and Captain Jubal, will be essential to try to surprise the LOSC.

Despite this precarious situation, the AJA coach remains optimistic: “I just want to see our players play their chances head on despite the opposite elements of the moment.”

The LOSC, on the other hand, displays a combative attitude that marked the eye of Christophe Pélissier. The AJA coach admits that the LOSC “does not let go”.

Apart from this confrontation, the interest of the “mini-championnat” remains strong, in particular to observe the fight for the podium and the Champions League, where Paris Saint-Germain is already assured of first place.

For this Sunday game, Christophe Pélissier hopes a favorable scenario: “Avoid a spanking (you should not get used to spending 4 of us at home) and, for a misunderstanding, make you doubt a little by scoring the first”. Despite the difficulties, the AJA dreams of a draw.
