Model notes
Claude Opus 5
Lens open at a fortress-like Bollaert-Delelis against an Auxerre side that finished well below them last season and travels with several absentees, giving the hosts a clear edge in squad quality and attacking output through Thauvin, Sima and Édouard. Opening-weekend rustiness and Auxerre's compact, counter-based setup keep the draw a realistic secondary outcome.
DeepSeek V4 Pro
Lens are strong at home, opened with Super Cup-winning form and beat Auxerre twice last season, while Auxerre have several key absentees and struggled near the bottom in 2025-26.
Gemini 3.1 Pro
Lens boast a formidable home advantage at the Stade Bollaert-Delelis and have assembled a strong attacking lineup featuring Florian Thauvin and Abdallah Sima. While Auxerre are capable opponents, Lens's superior squad depth and home support should edge them to an opening-day victory.
Gemini 3.6 Flash
Fresh off a Super Cup triumph, Lens enter the opening matchday as strong favorites at Stade Bollaert-Delelis against an Auxerre side dealing with significant squad selection issues and absentees. Expect Will Still's disciplined team to control the tempo and secure a comfortable win at home.
Gemini 3.7 Flash
Lens boast a formidable home record at the Stade Bollaert-Delelis and possess superior attacking depth led by Florian Thauvin and Abdallah Sima, giving them a clear advantage against an Auxerre side dealing with several absences.
Gemma 4 31B
Lens are strong favorites playing at home at the Stade Bollaert-Delelis for the season opener, boasting a more settled and higher-quality attacking core with Thauvin and Sima. While Auxerre can be stubborn, Lens's home advantage and squad depth make them the most likely victors.
Muse Spark 1.2
Lens have strong home advantage at Bollaert and more end product with Thauvin and Sima in a 3-4-2-1, while Auxerre arrive with several absentees for the opening weekend, making a narrow home win the most likely outcome in what should still be a competitive fixture.
MiniMax M3
Lens have home advantage at a packed Bollaert-Delelis and boast a deeper, more attack-minded squad (Thauvin, Sima, Édouard, Ivanovic), while Auxerre travel with several absentees on opening day. The research notes frame both as 'European hopefuls,' so a tight margin win is the most likely outcome rather than a blowout.
Mistral Large 3
Lens, as a established Ligue 1 side with European ambitions, are at home against a newly promoted Auxerre side. Lens's stronger squad depth, attacking firepower (e.g., Thauvin, Édouard, Sima), and home advantage make them clear favorites, but Auxerre's resilience and potential defensive shape could make this a competitive fixture.
Kimi K2.6
Lens carry strong momentum from their French Super Cup victory over PSG and hold a dominant recent head-to-head record against an Auxerre side missing numerous key players through injury and suspension. A low-scoring home win is the most likely outcome given Lens' recent defensive solidity and Auxerre's depleted attack.
Kimi K3
Lens are the stronger, European-hopeful squad with one of Ligue 1's best home advantages at Bollaert-Delelis, and their attacking core (Thauvin, Sima, Édouard) should trouble an Auxerre side arriving with several absentees. Opening-weekend rustiness and Auxerre's resilience keep the draw and away win honest, but Lens' superior depth makes a home win most likely.
Nemotron 3 Ultra
Lens start the season at home with a strong attacking lineup (Thauvin, Sima, Édouard) and the Bollaert-Delelis advantage, while Auxerre have several absentees and showed defensive reliance last season. Opening-day nerves and Auxerre's keeper Léon in form keep the draw probability honest.
GPT-5.6 Sol
Lens have the stronger attacking options and home advantage at Stade Bollaert-Delelis, while Auxerre reportedly enter the opener with several absentees. Opening-day uncertainty and Auxerre's defensive resilience keep the draw probability meaningful.
Qwen3.7 Plus
Lens are strong favorites at the Stade Bollaert-Delelis, boasting significant attacking depth with Thauvin, Sima, and Édouard. Auxerre are weakened by defensive absentees like Christ Makosso and will likely struggle to contain Lens's wide threats, though opening-day nerves could allow the visitors to nick a goal.
Grok 4.5
Lens enter as clear favorites after finishing runners-up last season, winning the Coupe de France and Super Cup (beating PSG), and holding a strong home record at Bollaert-Delelis, while Auxerre barely survived relegation and are missing multiple key players through injury. Lens also completed the league double over Auxerre last term, supporting a controlled home win.
MiMo v2.5-Pro
Lens are firmly established as Ligue 1 title contenders—runners-up to PSG last season, fresh off a French Super Cup win, and having done the league double over Auxerre last campaign. Although Auxerre won 4-0 at Bollaert-Delelis in April 2025 and have some positive pre-season momentum, their numerous injury absences (Diousse ACL, plus Senaya, Okoh, Fofana out) and last season's relegation battle suggest Lens should claim the opening-day points, though Auxerre's resilience makes a narrow scoreline more likely than a rout.
GLM-5.2
Lens enter on a massive high after winning the Trophée des Champions against PSG just six days prior, having finished Ligue 1 runners-up last season while Auxerre barely survived in 15th with a woeful away record (2-6-9) and multiple key absences. The home side's attacking quality through Thauvin, Sima and Édouard should overwhelm an Auxerre defence missing several starters.
