It is therefore with a gala poster that theAJ Auxerre will end this phase going to Abbé-Deschamps, in a fortress that became almost impregnable during the first part of the season. Teams like Rennes (4-0), Brest (3-0), Nice (2-1) or Reims (2-1) have broken their teeth in the lair of the promoted Burgundian since the curtain rose, while Paris Saint-Germain was held in check (0-0). Another Ligue 1 heavyweight, Lille will therefore approach this trip with the greatest vigilance.
The AJA and the LOSC
started the year 2025 with small disappointments. While Christophe Pélissier’s team suffered yet another poor performance away on the Strasbourg pitch (1-3), Bruno Genesio’s Mastiffs were held by Nantes at home (1-1). The northern team remains as ambitious as ever before the return of its European evenings. For AJA, a victory would be a real achievement since Lille has not lost for more than three months. The stage is set.
The expected compositions:
Auxerre : From Percin – Joly, Diomandé, Jubal, Akpa, Mensah – Owusu, Dioussé – Perrin, Traoré – Sinayoko.
Lille : Chevalier – Mandi, Diakité, Alexsandro, Gudmundsson – André, Mukau – Bakker, Haraldsson, Cabella – David.
