Auxerre head into this match sitting 17th in Ligue 1, having collected just 12 points from 18 games. Their recent form underlines their struggles, with only one win in their last 14 matches across all competitions.
Over their last six games, Auxerre have won once, drawn once, and lost four times, conceding an average of 1.83 goals per match while scoring 1.33.
Defensively, they remain vulnerable, but games involving Auxerre are often open. 67% of their last six matches have seen both teams score, while half of those games produced over 2.5 goals.
Although results have been poor, Auxerre tend to perform better at home, having earned 10 of their 12 league points at the Abbé-Deschamps.
Team news offers some relief. Gideon Mensah and Elisha Owusu return from suspension, strengthening the defensive and midfield structure.
However, Francisco Sierralta remains sidelined, while Auxerre continue to rely heavily on Lassine Sinayoko, their top scorer with six league goals.
PSG travel to Auxerre in second place, with 42 points from 18 matches, just one point off the summit.
Despite their strong league position, recent performances have been mixed.
Over their last six matches in all competitions, PSG have won three, drawn one, and lost twice.
Attacking output remains elite, averaging 2 goals per game over that period, but defensive consistency has dipped.
PSG have managed just two clean sheets in their last eight matches, and 50% of their last six games have seen both teams score.
Notably, 83% of those matches finished over 2.5 goals, highlighting how open PSG games have become.
Away from home, Les Parisiens have been less convincing, with only two wins in their last six away fixtures. Injuries could also affect balance, with Lee Kang-in, Joao Neves, and Matvey Safonov unavailable.
Still, PSG boast match-winners across the pitch, including Bradley Barcola (six league goals) and Vitinha, who leads the league assist charts.
Historically, PSG has dominated this fixture. They are unbeaten in their last eight meetings with Auxerre, winning 80% of recent encounters. The reverse fixture earlier this season ended 2–0 to PSG, and Auxerre have not beaten PSG since 2011.
Head-to-head matches also average 2.8 goals, with 60% going over 2.5 goals.
Key Betting Pointers;
PSG are unbeaten in their last eight meetings with Auxerre
PSG have kept only two clean sheets in their last eight games
Auxerre have lost five of their last seven home matches
Auxerre have won just once in their last 14 games
Auxerre’s defensive issues and poor form make it difficult to see them stopping PSG’s attacking quality.
However, PSG’s recent struggles to shut teams out suggest the hosts could still find a goal, especially at home.
