Latest team news for Lens vs Auxerre
Lens are likely to be without versatile forward Florian Sotoca this weekend after he suffered an injury in the match against Brest, and Anass Zaroury could be pushed further forward in his place.
Good news for Les Sang et Or is that left-back Deiver Machado will return after serving a suspension due to accumulated yellow cards, while reserve goalkeeper Denis Petric could also make a comeback after a back injury.
In defense, manager Still will have to rely on 17-year-old Kyllian Antonio to replace the suspended centre-back Facundo Medina. Additionally, Lens will be without left-back Jhoanner Chavez and striker Remy Lascary, who is recovering from an anterior cruciate ligament injury.
On the Auxerre side, right-back Gabriel Osho is recovering but will not be fit for Sunday's match. Therefore, coach Pelissier's defensive trio will consist of Sinaly Diomande, Jubal, and Clement Akpa.
In midfield, Elisha Owusu could feature after recovering from injury, while Nathan Buayi-Kiala and Lasso Coulibaly will remain absent.

Latest football match prediction: Lens vs Auxerre
Will Still's Lens endured a difficult few weeks from early February to early March, losing four consecutive matches, but with four wins in their last six Ligue 1 games, they still have a chance to compete for a top-six spot.
Most recently, Les Sang et Or overcame Brest with a 3-1 comeback victory last weekend, although they benefited from the opposing defender Abdoulaye Ndiaye receiving a red card in the first half.
These three valuable points have helped Still's side climb to eighth place in the standings, now just six points behind sixth-placed Lyon. With four games remaining, they will need to perform perfectly if they want to close this gap.
However, Lens have only won two of their last five home games at Stade Bollaert-Delelis, so fans have every reason to doubt their ability to secure all three points.
However, if Lens overcome their inconsistent home form and win this weekend, they could move closer to a European qualification spot. Conversely, a loss would almost certainly close their chances of competing for it.
Meanwhile, Christophe Pelissier's Auxerre had lost two consecutive matches before this game, but with only one defeat in their previous eight games, they remained confident they could regain their form and finish the season impressively.
In their most recent match, AJA followed up their 1-3 defeat against Lyon with another 1-3 loss against fifth-placed Lille. While these results weren't entirely unexpected given the strength of their opponents, manager Pelissier will undoubtedly be disappointed that his team conceded six goals after keeping three clean sheets in their previous four matches.
Losing six points in the last two matches has seen Auxerre drop to 11th place with 38 points, 11 points above the relegation zone but 13 points behind the European qualification spots.
However, Auxerre have only lost one of their last five away games. If they can show the form they displayed when they beat Reims and Rennes, or drew with Nice, who are competing for a Champions League spot, they could certainly threaten Lens' ambitions this Sunday.
A win this weekend could see them overtake Rennes and climb to 10th place in the table, just three points behind the top nine with three games remaining.
