Auxerre go in search of three much-needed Ligue 1 points when they host Lorient on Saturday.
Auxerre are second-from-bottom in France’s top flight with a record of four wins, seven draws and 10 losses leaving them in the relegation zone, one point from safety.
They do have a game-in-hand over most of the teams above them, and a win would haul them out of the bottom three, but that will not stop Auxerre wanting to take something from this match. They have lost their last three games in all competitions and are 7/5 to end that slump with a victory here, while the draw is priced 11/5.
Lorient are 10th in the standings with a record of six wins, eight draws and seven losses pitting them seven points clear of the bottom three.
A top-four finish is highly unlikely so Lorient’s main aim over the next few months will be to secure their Ligue 1 status for another season. They come into this match on a run of three straight draws in the league, and Lorient are 2/1 to build on those results with a first victory since November 27.
