Lyon host Auxerre aiming to build on strong early-season form
Lyon take on Auxerre at the Parc Olympique Lyonnais on matchday three of the Ligue 1 season, with both sides looking to build momentum in the early weeks of the campaign.
Recent form
Lyon arrive with two wins, two draws and one defeat from their last five matches, a run that leaves them slightly ahead of their visitors in terms of results. Auxerre, meanwhile, have managed just one win alongside a draw and two defeats over the same span, giving Lyon the edge heading into the fixture.
Head-to-head history
The two sides have met five times in recent seasons, with Lyon winning three of those encounters, including the most recent meeting in April 2026, a 3-2 victory. The pair also drew 0-0 in November 2025 and 2-2 in October 2024, while Auxerre's only win in that run came back in February 2023.
What to expect
With Lyon's superior recent record both in form and in head-to-head terms, they will go into the match with confidence on home soil, though Auxerre's ability to draw with Lyon in the past suggests they are capable of frustrating their hosts on their day.
