It’s fair to say that Paris FC have been Ligue 1‘s surprise package this season. Saturday sees Liam Rosenior’s side take on Auxerre at the Stade l’Abbe Deschamps, and a win could put them in the top two.
Auxerre are currently in 14th and could also do with some points, while Paris FC are coming into this game in 4th.
Thanks for the submission!
So can Paris FC’s great start to the season continue? Or will Auxerre pull off a huge result?
Auxerre vs Paris FC Head-to-Head and Key Numbers
- While the form guide suggests Paris FC will be confident here, they don’t actually have the best recent history against Auxerre. Paris FC have not beaten them in their last four meetings – losing two of them – although they did win away at Auxerre in Ligue 2 in February 2022.
- Auxerre were hammered this past weekend, losing to Strasbourg 5-1 with the final two goals going in after they’d been reduced to ten men. The loss was the joint-heaviest defeat suffered by any Ligue 1 side this season.
- Paris FC, on the other hand, picked up one of their biggest wins of the campaign to date by beating fellow high-flyers Monaco 3-1. The victory was an excellent way for Liam Rosenior’s team to bounce back from a loss to Lens the previous weekend, and they are now just three points behind league leaders PSG.
- Auxerre have the worst defensive record in Ligue 1 right now, having conceded 23 goals in their first nine matches. Worryingly, they’ve now conceded three or more goals in five matches this season.
- While Paris FC’s home form has been fantastic this season, taking 13 points from a possible 15, their away form has not been quite so strong. They’ve only won once on the road, beating Marseille 2-3 in early September, and both of their losses came in away matches.
Auxerre vs Paris FC Prediction
Paris FC’s away form has not been as strong as their home form this season, but they still have plenty of reasons to be confident here.
Auxerre are coming off a real beating at the hands of Strasbourg last weekend, and they’ve conceded a concerning number of goals, even if Cameron Archer has been a reliable goalscorer for them.
Add in the tremendous form that Paris FC forward Lassine Sinayoko is currently in, and everything here points to an away win.
Prediction: Auxerre 1-3 Paris FC
