The club members are hoping that Auxerre will strike back in this fixture, putting things right after the 0-5 away loss in the match against Paris Saint Germain (placed 1st). Auxerre were outplayed and humiliated in their previous game, as mentioned in the paragraph above. They will need to reinstall their confidence before this one.

Monaco form and stats

The away team have been very comfortable on their travels so far, racking up 5 wins, 1 draw and only 1 loss in the Ligue 1.

Monaco might have something to prove in this game as they lost at home in their previous match. Olympique Marseille proved too strong as Monaco slumped to a 2-3 defeat in front of their own fans at Stade Louis II.. Monaco were so close to getting something from the game against Olympique Marseille, but ended up with egg all over their face after conceding the deciding goal seven minutes into overtime. Midfielder Golovin was the best performer of that match, with a rating of 7.44. Golovin served one assist and hit four key passes.

The game before that, was lost at home, a 2-3 defeat against Olympique Marseille.

After this away game Monaco return home for a Ligue 1 game against Brest. That game is only four sleeps after this.

It's not easy to score on Monaco as they have only conceded 6 goals from these away games.

Head 2 Head

Monaco have pulled off a streak of 5 consecutive matches without losing (3-2-0) when facing Auxerre.
