Lyon faces a crucial match against Auxerre today at 3 PM IST as part of the 13th round of Ligue 1. With PSG, Marseille, and Lens securing victories this weekend, Lyon must win to remain in contention for the podium, sitting 8 points behind. Currently, Lyon is outside the European qualification spots, while Auxerre remains at the bottom of the league with just 7 points.

Tolisso and Tessmann will bolster the defense alongside the central duo of Mata and Niakhate, while Maitland-Niles and Abner Vinicius will cover the flanks. For Auxerre, Mara will lead the attack in a 4-3-3 formation, with Sinayoko and Namaso working the wings.
