Given that Auxerre and Paris FC have been involved in several high-scoring games in recent weeks, a repeat of February’s 0-0 draw here looks extremely unlikely.
Match News and Current Form
Auxerre conceded five goals in a game for the second time this season when they were thrashed 5-1 at Strasbourg on Sunday and now find themselves only two points above the relegation play-off place. Unsurprisingly, ahead of this matchday, AJA have conceded the most goals in Ligue 1 this campaign (23), keeping a clean sheet in just one of their nine such encounters, and have won only one of their last four games (D1, L2). This all means that head coach Will Still is under intense pressure, so he will be hoping that his side can extend their unbeaten home run to four matches (W2, D1) to buy him more time in the role.
After going unbeaten in their opening five games this season (W3, D2), Paris FC have alternated between a loss and a win across their last four matches (W2, L2), but still find themselves in fourth place, only three points off the top of the table. The capital club defeated Monaco 3-1 at home on Sunday but have lost their last two away encounters - the first time they have done so since August 2025 - and have won just two of their last 12 matches on the road across all competitions (D6, L4). The Parisians’ recent defensive record is also a bit concerning, as they have conceded six of their ten goals this term in their last three games.
