On Fri Sep 16th, in week 8, Auxerre will play host to Lorient in a clash of these two extremely mismatched Ligue 1 teams. The game day is forecasted to be a cloudy and cool day, with daytime temperatures of only 13 degrees, which is great football weather. Auxerre sits at 14th place in the tables. In their last match they recorded a 0-5 blowout loss against Rennes. K. Sulemana struck first for Rennes in the 3rd minute, then Amine Gouiri added another in the 60th minute In the end, Auxerre was frustrated by Rennes’s defence and couldn’t put any tallies on the board. Rennes ended the match with the shutout victory. They’re hoping to improve on their recent performance, having lost 4 of their last 10, while in their last match, Lorient recorded a 3-2 win against Nantes. Igniatius Ganago struck first for Nantes in the 13th minute, then Faissal Ouattara tied it up for Lorient in the 19th minute But luckily in the 60th minute, they were able to complete the comback with a goal by Cathline. Lorient should be reasonably happy with their recent performance, earning 19 points in their last 10 matches.
This will be the first match for these two teams against eachother this season.
