LiontipsAuxerre vs PSG. Prediction (odds 3.80) and bets on the French Championship match
Command Analysis
Current form
Auxerre demonstrates a fantastic level of play on their home field. Of the six matches played this season, the team has won five. Only unsuccessful away performances prevent Christophe Pélissier team from being in the European Cup zone (eighth place), lagging behind the top 6 by only one point.
In the last round, Auxerre played away against Toulouse and could do nothing, losing with a score of 0:2. Of course, the fans would like to see rehabilitation , but given that they have to play PSG, such a development of events becomes unlikely, because they have not been able to win against the Parisians for more than ten years (their last triumph was in 2011), and during this time the current champion of the country has only progressed, which cannot be said about Auxerre itself.
Of course, it is also disappointing that some players who play an important role in the team are missing. For example, Koulibaly and Kamara will not be able to take to the field, and without these players it will be much more difficult to develop attacks.
Disqualifications and injuries
N'Gata, Koulibaly and Kamara are injured and will not take to the field.
Interesting trends for betting
- Auxerre have won their last four home games
- The hosts have scored in four of their last five matches.
- Auxerre have kept clean sheets in two of their last three matches
Probable line-up: Leon - Hoever, Osho, Jubal, Akpa, Mensah - Perrin, Danois, Owusu, Traore - Sinayoko.
Current form
In the last round, PSG surprised many football fans, because they drew with a rather modest Nantes (1:1) on their home field. This was the team first failure on their home field this season in Ligue 1. In that match, the Parisians completely controlled the situation on the football field, but the ball, as if bewitched, did not fly into the opponent goal.
What is noteworthy is that despite PSG losing points in the last round, thanks to Monaco fiasco against Marseille (1:2), the visitors have increased their gap from the second line, and now it is seven points. Not even half of the championship has passed, and there is already a feeling that no one will be able to catch up with the current champion of the country.
PSG has the most powerful attack line in Ligue 1. It is the only club in the championship that has managed to break the 30-goal mark (37), while conceding only 11 (also the best result in the league). The team plays worse away from home than in front of its fans. In all tournaments, Luis Enrique protégés have lost points in three of their last five matches, but despite this, the club is, of course, a big favorite in the upcoming match.
Disqualifications and injuries
L. Hernandez and Mayulu are injured and will not take to the field.
Interesting trends for betting
- PSG have scored in four of their last five matches
- The visitors also conceded in four of the last five meetings.
- PSG have not lost to their upcoming opponent in their last three head-to-head matches on this field
Probable line-up: Donnarumma - Hakimi, Marquinhos, Beraldo, Mendes - Zaire-Emery, Vitinha, Neves - Lee, Asensio, Barcola.

3.70Tip and bets
Despite PSG recent history of dropping points on the road, they have scored in every away game in Ligue 1 this season. Meanwhile, Auxerre have won five of their six home games. Moreover, in five of the eight previous head-to-head encounters between the two teams, neither goalkeeper has kept a clean sheet. All of these indicators suggest that either team could score in the upcoming encounter.
Our prediction is both teams to score with odds of 1.62
Bet on the outcome
PSG is undoubtedly the favorite of this match. This is evidenced by both the team position in the standings and the statistics of personal meetings. However, it is difficult not to admit that the Parisians are not in their best form now, while Auxerre, supported by the local crowd, is playing perfectly, as they are on a series of four victories in a row. Of course, after the misfire in the match of the last round with Nantes, the Parisians will want to rehabilitate themselves, and, as we believe, they will be able to do this, but with a difference of no more than one goal.
Our prediction is PSG to win by one goal with odds of 3.80
Bet on corners
Based on all of the above, it is clear that the match should be interesting, with a fair number of dangerous moments. This means that we are expecting a decent number of corner flag serves.
Forecast - total over 9.5 corners. This option can be found for 1.71
