Auxerre form and stats

The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Auxerre so far with only 5 points returning home. The records show 1-2-9 (win-draw-lose). The loyal fans travelling with their beloved Auxerre have enjoyed the stadium food more than the matches as the visitors have gone ten consecutive matches without winning on the road.

Auxerre had fun at their own home (Stade Yves Allainmat - Le Moustoir) last time out, beating Olympique Lyonnais 2-1. Perrin and Jubal scored. That victory was so vital for this club, after a horrific sequence of ten league rounds in a row not winning. Jubal, who plays in defense, got the "man of the match" on his team with the rating 7.75. Jubal scored one goal and won 4 of 7 duels.

A 1-1 draw at Angers SCO's stadium before that.

Auxerre are the outsiders in this one, but not by much. Their performance in similar games (being the away team and moderate outsiders) is 1 win, 1 draw and 3 defeats. From a total of 5 matches.

The visitors have scored 10 goals from 12 away games in the league, an average of less than one per game. Auxerre have conceded 28 goals in these games.

Head 2 Head

Lorient have avoided a loss in the last 4 games (2-2-0) facing Auxerre.

It's not the first time these two sides face each other this season, as the history books show this recent fixture: Auxerre - Lorient 1-3.
