Inconsistencies have been the main problem for Auxerre, if their recent results are anything to go by. In their last six matches, they have got two wins along with one draw and three defeats. These type of mixed results haven’t allowed the club to fully seize their opportunities and hence they find themselves in the bottom half of the table, just two points above the relegation zone.
Lorient, on the other hand, will be quite satisfied with their recent results. In their last six matches, they have managed four wins along with one draw and one loss. They currently find themselves in the Europa League spot and will be determined to keep that place heading into the international break by defeating a low in confidence Auxerre side at the moment.
Gaetan Charbonnier, Julian Jeanvier, Nuno da Costa and Theo Pellenard will miss out for Auxerre due to injury woes. Lorient will travel for this fixture without the services of the injured Igor Carioca and Quentin Boisgard.
Auxerre possible line-up: Costil, Joly, Jubal, Coeff, Mensah, Toure, Hein, Sakhi, Raveloson, Autret, Niang
Lorient possible line-up: Mvogo, Kalulu, Laporte, Talbi, Le Goff, Innocent, Abergel, Diarra, Le Fee, Ouattara
