Auxerrois and Lensois are closer than expected in the Ligue 1 standings. AJA, eighth, hosts RCL, seventh, this Saturday at Abbé-Deschamps. Auxerre remains in a draw against Paris Saint-Germain (0-0), proof of the form in which Christophe Pélissier’s players are, in particular goalkeeper Donovan Léon, author of 11 saves against the Parisians.
For their part, the Artésiens remain on two victories by the same score in Reims and against Montpellier (2-0). They have the same number of points as Nice (23), sixth, and are still close to the top 5 places, but this trip to Burgundy looks like a trap.
“It’s going to be a good match because Auxerre, at home, is very strong,” recalls Will Still, the Lens coach. They are the 3rd best team at home. They beat certain teams with great results, they held Paris in check even if it was with a great performance from their goalkeeper… We will have to be very good. They are super dangerous in transition. We took the time to analyze their squad, their strengths, their weaknesses and it’s going to be a really interesting match.”
The match of the 15th day between Auxerre and Lens will be held this Saturday, December 14 at 7 p.m. It will be followed on DAZN.
