Auxerre play host to LOSC Lille at the Stade de l'Abbé-Deschamps in round 32 of the French Ligue 1 on Saturday.
Christophe Pélissier’s men head into the weekend in search of a fourth consecutive win as they look to pull clear of the relegation zone.
Auxerre picked up another huge win in their battle at the bottom end of the Ligue 1 table as they edged out Nantes 2-1 last Sunday.
Pélissier’s side have now won three consecutive games, scoring six goals and keeping two clean sheets since March’s 2-0 loss at Strasbourg.
With 32 points from 31 games, Auxerre are currently 14th in the Ligue 1 standings, three points above the relegation zone.
Meanwhile, Lille returned to winning ways last time out when they beat Montpellier 2-1 at the Stade Pierre Mauroy.
This followed a disappointing 1-0 loss to last-placed Angers on April 8 which saw their five-game unbeaten run come to an end.
With 55 points from 31 games, Lille are currently fifth in the league table, two points above sixth-placed Stade Rennais just outside the Conference League qualification spot.
