Auxerre
Monaco suffered a midweek defeat against a stronger Inter side in the Champions League. However, considering they played most of the game with a red card and still secured a spot among the top 24 teams this season, their campaign can be considered a success.
Back in Ligue 1 today, they face a struggling Auxerre side that has been in poor form. Auxerre has lost their last three away games, scoring just once in that stretch. Extending the scope to both league and cup competitions, they are winless in their last eight matches—a worrying trend for the team.
Auxerre’s defensive struggles on the road are evident, conceding 21 goals in nine away matches. Meanwhile, Monaco holds a strong head-to-head record, winning each of their last three encounters against this opponent.
What we say
Monaco to Win
With Monaco’s tendency to rotate some of their first-team players, we could see a similar approach here. Even with these changes, the squad has made an impact, as shown by Biereth finding the net in the previous match.
We expect the home side to control the game and find the back of the net multiple times against an opponent they have traditionally dominated.
