Prediction in France!

Strasbourg have an important opportunity to turn their season around when they welcome Auxerre to Stade de la Meinau. Despite a difficult run of results, their home advantage and strong historical record against Auxerre make the hosts an interesting selection.

One of the strongest arguments for Strasbourg is their record in this fixture. They have won their last five competitive home meetings with Auxerre, including a convincing 3-0 victory in this corresponding league fixture last season.

Strasbourg have struggled recently, losing their last four Ligue 1 matches. Their defensive record has also been a concern, with 18 goals conceded in their first eight league games. However, they have shown attacking potential and will be motivated to respond in front of their home supporters.

Auxerre have been more competitive in recent weeks, collecting points in four of their last five league matches. Nevertheless, their away defensive record remains a weakness, having conceded 13 of their 18 league goals on the road.

This is not a straightforward fixture, especially given Strasbourg’s current form and injury concerns. However, their historical dominance at home against Auxerre gives them a reason to believe they can get back to winning ways.
