LLLDLL 📉

Following on from being defeated in their last game at the hands of RC Lens in Ligue 1 action, AJ Auxerre and their travelling supporters will be hoping that they can get a better result in this one.

In that game, AJ Auxerre had 32% possession and 6 shots on goal with 1 of them on target. On the other side, Lens got 10 shots at goal with 2 on target. Przemysław Frankowski (59') scored for RC Lens.

It is worth noting that AJ Auxerre have suffered from a shortage of goals over their previous 6 clashes, recording the poor return of only 4. In those fixtures, AJA have also seen the overall goal aggregate of their opponents equal 17. It will be interesting to see if that trend will end up being sustained into this next match.
