This Saturday, the fourth round of the French championship will feature a match at Abbé-Deschamps stadium in Auxerre, where Auxerre will face Monaco. A bet on the outcome of this match looks promising.
Match Preview
Auxerre started their season with a win against Lorient, but they have since faced two away defeats, revealing persistent issues. The team has only scored 2 goals in three games, one of the lowest in the league, but they pose a significant threat at home.
At their home ground, Auxerre has a solid record and usually finds the back of the net, scoring in 13 of their last 16 home matches. However, they face challenges with their first-choice goalkeeper suspended and an injury to El Azzouzi, though the support from home fans can make a difference.
Monaco sits among the league leaders with 6 points from three matches, but their inconsistency late in games is worrying. They secured their win over Strasbourg in the 96th minute, and they previously let a draw slip against Lille.
Monaco’s attack has been effective, scoring 6 goals in 3 games, but they struggle away from home. They have failed to win in 11 of their last 13 Ligue 1 away matches and have conceded in 14 out of 16 such games.
Probable Lineups
- Auxerre: de Persin, Mensah, Akpa, Sierralta, Senaya, Casimir, Owusu, Danois, Osman, Laouda, Sinayoko
