Strasbourg
The club played their last two league matches away, managing to secure just 1 point. Liam Rosenior's side first drew with PSG (3-3) and then lost to Lyon with a score of 1-2. As a result, the team dropped out of the European competition zone but is not far off, trailing the leader by only 4 points. Notably, Strasbourg averages two goals per game, a statistic surpassed by only three other teams.
- Three or more goals have been scored in the club's last five Ligue 1 matches.
- In their last 15 home league games, Lens has avoided defeat 13 times (10 wins and 3 draws).

Auxerre
Christophe Pelissier's side has not tasted victory in their last four Ligue 1 matches. During this stretch, they lost at home to Lens (1-2) and Le Havre (0-1), suffered a defeat away to PSG (0-2), and drew with Rennes (2-2). With such results, the club cannot hope for anything significant and has predictably found itself in the relegation zone. Additionally, Auxerre's matches average 2.2 goals, one of the lowest scoring averages in the league.
- In their last 8 Ligue 1 matches, the club has secured just 1 win (1 draw and 6 losses).
- Auxerre is on a 5-match winless streak away in the league (1 draw and 4 losses).

Predicted lineup for Auxerre (5-4-1)
Donovan Léon – Josué Casimir, Clément Akpa, Francisco Sierralta, Marvin Senaya, Gideon Mensah – Elisha Owusu, Danny Loader, Oussama El Azzouzi, Lassine Sinayoko – Sekou Mara.

Strasbourg vs. Auxerre: Match Prediction
High odds are being offered for a home win, which I recommend taking advantage of. If Strasbourg had won their last two matches, they would be leading the French league table. Although the club has already lost three matches, these defeats came against higher-ranked opponents. The tough fixture schedule is now behind them, giving Liam Rosenior's side a good chance to close the gap on the leader.
Auxerre has yet to impress. The club scores few goals, which has cost them several points. It is in this aspect of the game that the visitors will likely fall short against Strasbourg in the upcoming match. In 3 of their last 4 away Ligue 1 matches, Auxerre conceded at least two goals. Meanwhile, Strasbourg has scored two or more goals in 10 of their last 14 home league games. Additionally, Auxerre has lost all of the last 3 head-to-head meetings in Ligue 1.
My prediction – Strasbourg to win
