Auxerre have been having a tough run lately, losing three of their last five matches and only managing one win in that period. Lens, on the other hand, are in much better shape, having won their last two games convincingly, including a 4-0 victory on the road.

When these two teams have met before, goals have been common, with four of their last six encounters seeing three or more goals. Given Lens's strong recent form and Auxerre's struggles, Lens look likely to win this one.
