Auxerre vs Paris: Match Prediction
This upcoming clash features two sides from the bottom half of the standings. In this match, we give a slight edge to the visitors, who are unbeaten in three straight league games. Paris also look far more convincing going forward, having scored nearly twice as many as the hosts. And overall, they deserve to remain in Ligue 1 for at least one more season.
Paris also look fairly solid on the road. In their last eight away matches in Ligue 1, the team avoided defeat five times, and their losses came only against opponents fighting for the top places (Lens, Lille and Paris Saint-Germain). Auxerre, meanwhile, have not impressed even at home, where they have failed to win 6 of their last 7 Ligue 1 matches (1 draw and 5 defeats), beating only Metz, who are clear outsiders in the league.
