Auxerre-Monaco

Auxerre faces Monaco in what promises to be an intriguing matchup. Historically, Monaco has had the upper hand, winning four out of the last five encounters. Auxerre has struggled, especially in recent outings, suffering defeats against Le Havre and Nantes while managing a solitary win against Nice. On the other hand, Monaco has been relatively consistent with solid performances against teams like Lyon and St Etienne.

Auxerre’s defensive frailties have been evident, conceding multiple goals in their recent games, which could be exploited by Monaco’s potent attack. With Monaco’s impressive away form, having shut out Lyon and kept a clean sheet against Barcelona, they are likely to control the game.

Considering the recent form and head-to-head record, Monaco is in a strong position to secure the win. Auxerre’s defensive lapses could lead to a match where both teams might not find the net. Expect a game with fewer goals given Monaco’s solid defensive record, making a low-scoring affair probable.
