"Last seen heading into November's fortnight interval with a routine 2-0 loss away at Angers, the Whites sit rock-bottom of the Ligue 1 table and are rightfully installed as the landslide relegation contender this year. Signing off October with a 3-0 drumming against Strasbourg, the former Lorient boss has seen his downbeat squad lose all of their previous four consecutive Ligue 1 appearances by an aggregate score of 7-0."
"While Ivory Coast international Sinaly Diomande might have missed out against Angers prior to November's international break after serving a one-match suspension, the ex-Lyon defender will return to Pelissier's squad here. Dealing with respective knee injuries, Auxerre will once again be without the duo of Nathan Buayi-Kiala and Telli Siwe this weekend. Featuring for Ghana over the fortnight interval, former Strum Graz youngster Gideon Mensah could be handed a full recall."
Auxerre sit bottom of Ligue 1 after a run of poor results, including four consecutive defeats by an aggregate 7-0 and one point from their last seven top-flight matches. Sinaly Diomande returns from a one-match suspension. Nathan Buayi-Kiala and Telli Siwe remain sidelined with knee injuries. Gideon Mensah could be recalled after international duty and Francesco Sierralta is set to start in central defence. Lyon arrive as favorites despite a recent dip in form and a 3-2 home defeat to PSG before the break. The best odds for a Lyon win are 11/10 at Olympusbet.
