Paris fights Auxerre in Ligue 2 battle

Competition: France Ligue 2
Date: Fri 29.March
Match begins: 19:00 (UTC)
Venue: Stade Sébastien-Charléty

A home win is expected from this fixture if the league table is anything to judge by. The home fans are optimistic that the difference between 4th and 14th place in the table will show on the pitch.

There should be plenty of energy on the pitch in this game, as both sides have had time to recuperate from their last game. Let's hope both teams are ready to give it all.

Auxerre form and stats

The loot brought home from travels has not been plentiful for Auxerre as they have only collected 14 points from their 15 away games. Auxerre only has 4 wins to counter their 9 defeats and 2 draws. With the Auxerre losing streak of four defeats in a row, regardless of arena, optimism is low and sinking. It's all red in the travel logs of Auxerre, having lost five matches in a row as the visiting team.

Auxerre play their second straight away game, having lost the previous one 0-1 to Béziers (placed 19th). Prior to that match, the Auxerre manager P. Correa faced defeat in their match when travelling to Lens and losing 0-2.

Auxerre are scoring more than one goal per away game on average, having accumulated 15 away goals from 15 games. As opposed to that, Auxerre have seen the ball go into their own net 16 times on the road.

Head 2 Head

The two sides played each other earlier this season: Auxerre - Paris 0-2. Numbers for the last five meetings between these two teams are: 2 wins for Paris, 2 draws and 1 win for Auxerre.
