Auxerre, who are 16th in the Ligue 1 standings and have not performed at their best so far this season, are currently in that position. Last week, the home team lost to Brest 1-0, and they will need to get back on track in this game.
PSG, then again, are at the highest point of the association table right now however have been uniquely conflicting on the homegrown front. The Parisian goliaths whipped Ajaccio by a 5-0 edge in their past game and will hope to accomplish a comparable scoreline this end of the week.
PSG is still on the verge of winning another league title, despite their flattery to deceive in Ligue 1. For the Parisians, Kylian Mbappe has been impressive and will try to score more goals this weekend.
Despite having a strong home record at the moment, Auxerre will face a formidable opponent. PSG should be able to win this game because they appear to be the superior team.
Prediction: Auxerre 1-4 PSG
PSG has a good record against Auxerre, winning 32 of the 74 games played between the two teams, while Auxerre has won 21 of those games.
Auxerre are unbeaten in their last three matches at home against PSG in Ligue 1, with their past such game completion in a 1-1 attract 2012. This season, Auxerre has lost all five games they have played against the top three teams in Ligue 1, including a 5-0 loss to PSG.
This weekend, PSG could become the most successful team in the competition’s history and win the Ligue 1 title for the 11th time. In Ligue 1, only Lille currently has a longer home winning streak than Auxerre, which is unbeaten in their last seven games.
Auxerre may only have one fitness concern for the visit of PSG, as striker M’Baye Niang was unable to play last weekend due to illness and will require a more in-depth evaluation prior to kickoff. However, Auxerre survived their loss to Brest unscathed.
Due to a knee issue, goalkeeper Radu was a question for the trip to the Stade Francis Le-Ble. However, he passed a late fitness test and made nine saves, all of which were insignificant.
However, striker Nuno Da Costa was only able to play 64 minutes in the loss to Les Pirates because Pelissier was monitoring a previous adductor problem. If Niang is able to successfully fight off his bug, an immediate recall may be necessary.
Hakimi must return to the naughty step immediately after receiving his marching orders against Lorient and being flagged down for a clash with Thomas Mangani of Ajaccio last weekend; the two players have been hit with two-game suspensions.
PSG will continue to be without their numerous long-term absentees, including Neymar (ankle), Presnel Kimpembe (Achilles), Nordi Mukiele (thigh), and Nuno Mendes (hamstring). Timothee Pembele is still battling a knee injury, and his possible absence would severely limit Galtier’s options on the right side once more.
Warren Zaire-Emery, Hugo Ekitike, and Messi and Mbappe should form a three-man strikeforce once more, and teen protege Warren Zaire-Emery will likely be drafted in to cover for the suspended Hakimi once more.
