Lyon make fast start against Auxerre in Ligue 1 | OneFootball

Lyon have made a brisk start against bottom club Auxerre at the Groupama Stadium.

The Ligue 1 fixture kicked off at 19:00 in Décines on 4 September 2026. Openda struck in the 18th minute to put the hosts 1-0 up.

After their Champions League exit, this home test offers a chance to reset and stay near the top of the table. Le Progres notes Lyon had drawn with Le Havre in Décines right after the Fener match, making this their second straight game at home.

Recent head-to-head form favours Lyon, with three wins, two draws and one defeat in the last six league meetings. Their most recent Ligue 1 loss to Auxerre was 2-1 on 17 February 2023.

In the 21st century, Lyon have lost only 10.3% of their Ligue 1 matches against Auxerre, three of 29, with 19 wins and seven draws. Just one of those defeats came in Lyon, 0-2 in March 2009.
