Although they quickly equalized a Rayan Raveloson own goal with Matthis Abline’s nudge in the 22nd minute, the Burgundy-based club failed to take advantage of their 15 to 10 total shot differential and failed to field more goals out of 10 shots inside the box.
1% of passes made accurately. Their accurate long-ball passing comes to 57. 9%, one of the highest in the league. In the defensive end, the team has conceded 25 goals so far. They have secured five clean sheets whilst posting 19. 2 tackles, 13. 3 interceptions, 12. 3 clearances, and 2. 7 saves per game. They are a bit erratic in making defensive stops, committing 13.
Alexander Lacazette leads the team with 14 goals and four assists. Tete has also provided six goals and two assists for the team. Rayan Cherki and Moussa Dembele follow suit with three and two goals, respectively, while six other players have fielded one goal each. OL has posted 35 goals for the season, 25 coming from assists. Lacazette has a 100% conversion rate in penalty kicks on four chances given to him this season. The team is also averaging 14. 3 total shots, 9. 7 successful dribbles, and 5. 6 corners per game. This is the result of a 59. 1% ball-possession rate, with 85.
In this current league season, the French powerhouse also ranks ninth when playing as visitors, earning 14 points in 11 games played where four resulted in wins and two in deadlocks. The Lions currently hold a +10 goal differential. Last time out, Olympique Lyon earned a 2-1 victory at home against RC Lens despite being outshot 14-12 in the match. Alexandre Lacazette’s goal for Lyon was quickly equalized by Deiver Machado, but Rayan Cherki’s decisive goal in the 64th minute sealed the victory for the Lions. Lyon is also still in contention in the Coupe de France, winning its recent match versus Lile in a 4-2 penalty shootout result.
Pelissier will have to rely from the heroics of Nuno De Costa, Matthis Abline, and M’Baye Niang – all three are tied for the squad’s top goal scorers with nine combined. Kays Ruiz-Atil, Siriki Dembele, and Theo Pellenard are absent for Auxerre in this game. Jubal faces possible suspension as he has submitted four yellow cards so far. Why Lyon Can Beat Auxerre Lyon currently is placed ninth in the French Football League with 35 points garnered from 10 wins, five draws, and eight losses in 23 matches played.
Auxerre is still in relegation, amassing 15 points from three wins, six draws, and 14 losses. Auxerre has just fielded 19 goals while conceding 47. Qualifying to Ligue 1 after their promotion/relegation play-offs, the current domestic season of Auxerre seems eerily similar to their previous one a decade ago. AJA is currently on their longest winless run in the top-flight since failing to triumph in 12 successive encounters between December 2011 and March 2012. Christophe Pelissier has only picked up one victory in his 11 domestic fixtures at the helm. He took the managerial reins following the sacking of Jean-Marc Furlan in early October. Two of their three wins in Ligue 1 this season have also come at Stade de l’Abbe Deschamps, although they have only beaten Lyon at home twice this century, the last time being during the 2010-11 campaign, when they won 4-0.
