Lille have won 3, drawn 2 and lost 0 of their last 5 matches. Their most recent result was a 1-0 win over AS Monaco. That is a strong sequence of results that will give them confidence heading into this one.
AJ Auxerre have picked up 2 wins, 2 draws and 1 defeat in their last 5 outings. They come into this off the back of a 2-1 win against Nice. Away form has been inconsistent, and getting a result here will be a test of their character.
Both sides have been producing comparable results over their recent matches, which suggests this could be a tight and competitive affair with little separating the two teams.
