On Friday night, Auxerre hosts Lorient at the Stade de l'Abbe Deschamps as the visitors look to continue their promising start to the new Ligue One campaign.
The home team heads into this clash on the back of three straight defeats in Ligue One. A 5-0 hammering at Rennes last time out also means that Jean-Marc Furlan’s team has also conceded at least two goals in all three recent defeats.

Their poor start to the new French top-flight campaign has left Auxerre with just seven points from as many matches in Ligue One this season.

AJA have also conceded at least two goals in four of their previous five home matches in Ligue One.
The visitors have made a promising start to the new Ligue One campaign, picking up 16 points from their opening seven league matches. A 3-2 home win over Nantes last time out means that Lorient has won four of their previous five games in the French top-flight.
Les Merlus has also been prolific in front of goal of late in the French top-flight, scoring at least two goals in five of their last six matches in Ligue One.
Lorient’s recent away record is inconsistent in Ligue One, as they have won just two of their previous five away games in the French top-flight. However, they have also lost just one of their games in the same run.
Forebet predicts that Auxerre will continue their recent promising run of form in Ligue One with a win in a high-scoring encounter.
