Paris hope to sell some tickets for this game even though the season has been rough so far with 12 points and a 19th position in the Ligue 2 table. Visiting Auxerre holds 12th place with 17 pts.

Paris form and stats

With {1 Ligue 2 wins}, 1 draw and 4 defeats from their home games, Paris, who have the the worst goal difference (-11) in Ligue 2, are certainly not brimming with confidence.

Defensively the home team are doing well, with their goalkeeper Anthony Maisonnial not having conceded a league goal in 180 minutes.

A good away victory last time out for Paris, who won 2-0 against Amneville. In the game before, an away victory in the Ligue 2 match versus Orleans with a 1-0 scoreline.

The goals haven't exactly been flowing for Paris here at Stade Sebastien Charlety in the league, with less than one goal per game on average (4 from 6 games). With more than 1,5 conceded goals on average, the Paris defense is not exactly impregnable. 11 goals conceded from 6 games. You can find more goal stats on the Statistics tab above.

Auxerre form and stats

Auxerre have only collected 6 points from their away games in the Ligue 2, after 1-3-3 (7 played).

It's the second away game in a row for Auxerre, but there's smiles all around after the 4-0 victory versus Charitoise in the Coupe de France last time out. Ahead of that game was the 1-1 draw at home against Caen in the Ligue 2.

As mentioned above, Auxerre was the only team on the pitch versus Charitoise in their previous game, winning 4-0. This could be a tougher task.

Auxerre find the net in their away games, although not all the time. 7 goals from 7 away fixtures in the league. 8 goals have been conceded by Auxerre in these games.

Head 2 Head

Head-2-head stats last six meetings: 3 - 2 - 1 (Paris wins - draws - Auxerre wins). As for goals, 3 matches ended with three or more goals (over 2,5), 3 had two or less.
