Getting closer to the top teams is at stake when these two mid-table clubs battle it out. Both will be aiming to improve their league table standing, Auxerre in 9th and Amiens SC in 13th place.
This should be an interesting game with lots of spark and energy as both teams are well rested since they last saw competitive action. Game on!
Auxerre form and stats
3-0-2 (win-draw-lost) are the Ligue 2 numbers at home for Auxerre, who have the most scored goals (11) at home in Ligue 2, so far this season. Auxerre are on a three game winning streak in their home games.
