Command Analysis
Auxerre
FranceCurrent form
Auxerre suffered a severe slump in their form this winter. Since December 1, 2024, Christophe Pélissier men have played seven matches without a single win - four defeats and three draws. Moreover, they failed to score in five of those games. But thanks to a good start, the team is still in safe 11th place. For now, they are five points clear of the relegation zone, but the key word in the sentence is for now, because if the team continues to play like this, another relegation is inevitable.
Despite not the best performances, Auxerre plays well at home. In the last eight matches, it has lost only once, with four wins and three draws. Considering that the upcoming opponent is lower in the ranking, the fans and the club management have hope that they will be able to win the upcoming match and earn the first three points this winter.
Auxerre have been without injured players for a long time now. It is possible that this is what is preventing the team from playing at the proper level in the winter campaign. Koulibaly is still in the infirmary, and N'Gata and Bouyi-Kiala are also recovering.
Disqualifications and injuries
N'Gata, Bouyi-Kiala and Koulibaly are all out with injuries, while Osho is suspended.
Interesting trends for betting
- Auxerre fail to win seven games in a row
- In five of the last seven matches, the hosts didn't even score
- Auxerre have conceded in four of their last five matches
Probable line-up: Leon - Joly, Akpa, Diomande, Mensah - Owusu, Massengo - Perrin, Aye, Traore - Sinayoko.
Saint-Etienne
FranceCurrent form
Significant changes for the better have taken place since Eirik Horneland arrived at Saint-Etienne. The Norwegian specialist took charge of the team on January 1st. Three matches have been played since then, and all of them have been played excellently. There was a 3-1 win over Reims, a minimal defeat to PSG (1-2) and a draw with Nantes (1-1). The team is currently in 16th place – the play-off zone, but only by additional indicators is not in a safe place. If they manage to score points in the upcoming match, then at least for a day the team will get rid of the status of one of the three worst teams in Ligue 1. One cannot ignore the fact that under Horneland, the Greens scored in three matches in a row for the first time this season. Of course, there is no desire to stop there.
Away games continue to be a problem for Saint-Etienne, as the team has lost five of its last away games, and its unbeaten run now stands at nine games in a row, with eight of those losses. With the latest changes, there is certainly hope that the Greens will finally start to pick up points away from home, and do better than they did in the first round, where they only picked up one point.
Disqualifications and injuries
Auld, Moncondois, Macon, Wadji, Muffek are injured, and Sissoko, Mouton, Bouchouari will not play due to suspension.
Interesting trends for betting
- Saint-Etienne have gone nine away games without a win.
- The visitors have conceded in the last seven games
- In the last three matches, the Greens did not leave the field without scoring a goal
Probable line-up: Larsonnier - Appiah, Batubinsika, Nade, Petro - Tardue, Fomba, Amugu - Boakye, Stassen, Davitashvili.

4.50Tip and bets
Auxerre certainly plays much better at home than away. With local fans, the Burgundians took points in matches with such clubs as PSG, Lens and Lille. Saint-Etienne, in turn, got going in earnest and even in the last away game PSG could not keep the goal intact in the match with the Greens. We believe that the game will be attacking and both the hosts and the guests will be able to score.
Our prediction is both teams to score with odds of 1.69
Bet on the outcome
Based on Saint-Etienne performance in recent matches, we would not have made the team such a clear underdog. PSG and Toulouse have struggled to beat the Greens with a minimal score in their last two home matches. We believe that the visitors will not lose against Auxerre, but the hosts clearly do not deserve to lose, considering which top teams they took points from at home.
Our prediction is a draw with odds of 3.60
Bet on corners
Saint-Etienne average 3.4 corners per match, while Auxerre average four. The numbers are low for both teams, so we'll bet on the two teams not taking many corners.
Our prediction is total under 9.5 corners with odds of 1.75
