Week 1 brings us a match on Aug 7th, where Auxerre will travel to Villeneuve d’Ascq to battle Lille in a meeting of these two closely matched Ligue 1 teams. Weather on match day is looking like a cloudy but warm day with daytime temperatures of 23 degrees, a perfect day for football. Lille has not played yet this season, and neither has Auxerre.
Lille is opening up their season after finishing last season 10th in the tables, while Auxerre is starting their season on a positive note having just been promoted.
