Auxerre vs PSG

PSG are aiming to maintain the pressure on Lens at the top of the table when they travel to Auxerre for a Friday night French Ligue 1 fixture.

The Parisians are coming off a disappointing UEFA Champions League showing in midweek and will be keen to get back to winning ways. They have picked up some good results in the league lately and should be too strong for the struggling hosts.

Auxerre News

Auxerre are enduring a difficult campaign, having picked up just three wins from 18 Ligue 1 matches. Christophe Pelissier’s team are currently second from bottom, six points from safety, and will be keen to spark a resurgence.

There has been little fight shown by Auxerre lately, having lost their last four matches, including a 1-0 defeat at Lens in their previous fixture. They have also been unconvincing at home, with five defeats in the last seven matches in front of their fans.

One positive for Auxerre is that they often find the net in front of their fans, having scored in their last three home matches. However, they have failed to keep a clean sheet in all three fixtures, which have also produced over 2.5 goals.

PSG News

PSG are coming off a disappointing 2-1 defeat at Sporting CP in a midweek Champions League fixture. They will now turn their attention to domestic matters, sitting just one point off the pace in the Ligue 1 table.

The Parisians are showing some good form on the domestic scene, winning their last four Ligue 1 matches, including a 3-0 home victory over Monaco in their previous fixture. Luis Enrique’s team are also unbeaten in five of their last six away matches in the league.

PSG are known for their attacking quality and have scored the first half's opening goal in their last three Ligue 1 matches. However, they are without a clean sheet in five of their last seven away matches across all competitions while four of the last six on this run have produced over 2.5 goals.

Head to Head

PSG have 15 wins and seven draws, while Auxerre have been victorious six times in the last 27 matches. The Parisians claimed a 2-0 victory in the reverse fixture in September.

Verdict

Auxerre v PSG

PSG will be looking to make a statement after their midweek disappointment and will target a fast start. They have opened the scoring in the first half in their last three Ligue 1 matches and a repeat could be expected.

The Parisians have earned a win and over 2.5 goals in their last four league matches, and a similar outcome could be considered. With neither defence convincing at the moment, both teams could be backed to score here.
