Best Tip: Under 3.5 goals

We think there's minimal chance that this fixture will serve up more than 3 goals at most, and the odds and stats are in line with KickOff's predictive algorithm on this one. Auxerre and Lyon have seldom served up goal-fests of late, whether that be in Ligue 1 individually or when going head-to-head. So, without a convincing favourite WDW or double chance market, we're suggesting under 3.5 goals. That's available at a best price of 1.30.
