Head-to-Head Analysis
Historical encounters between Paris FC and AJ Auxerre indicate a competitive rivalry, often resulting in closely contested matches. Out of 13 previous meetings, at least four have ended in a draw. While specific win/loss records between these two teams are not definitively clear from historical data, the frequency of draws suggests neither team has consistently dominated the other in the past. However, recent form and league position offer a more relevant indicator for this upcoming fixture.
Our Prediction
Considering the current form and league standings, Paris FC holds a significant advantage over AJ Auxerre. Playing at home, Paris FC has shown more offensive prowess and a better overall record this season. Auxerre’s struggles, particularly their inability to score goals consistently (just 7 in 13 games), will be a major hindrance on the road. While Auxerre will be desperate for points to climb out of the relegation zone, Paris FC’s superior attack and home support should be enough to secure a victory.
Our expert pick for this Ligue 1 clash is:
Paris FC Win
