Lens vs. Auxerre: Can Anyone Stop Their 9-Game Winning Streak?

It's rare for a match at the Stade Bollaert-Delelis to be so easy to predict. League 1 leaders Lens are on an 8-game winning streak, while their opponent, Auxerre, hasn't won in 12 matches. The difference in form is stark.

Lens (League 1 1st)

• ●Winning Streak: 8 consecutive matches
• ●Average Goals Scored in Last 6 Matches: 2.17 goals
• ●Average Goals Conceded in Last 6 Matches: 0.5 goals
• ●Last 20 League Matches: Undefeated in 17 matches (75% win rate)

Auxerre (League 1 17th)

• ●Season Record: 3 wins, 3 draws, 11 losses in 17 matches
• ●Goal Difference: 14 goals scored, 27 goals conceded (-13)
• ●Last 12 Matches: 11 matches without a win
• ●Last 20 Matches: 13 losses

The numbers alone are depressing, especially from Auxerre's perspective. Lens is scoring over 2 goals per game while only conceding 0.5, while Auxerre simply can't win.
