Auxerre vs Monaco prediction: FRANCE: Ligue 1 betting tips on match 2025-09-12 19:05.
[p]Auxerre will be looking to get their Ligue 1 season back on track after two successive defeats when they host Monaco.[/p]
[p]Match News and Current Form[/p]
[p]Following an impressive 11th-placed finish on their return to Ligue 1 in 2024/25, and a 1-0 win over Lorient to start this campaign, Auxerre fans may have been hopeful of a first top-ten Ligue 1 finish since 2010/11. That optimism has been tempered by subsequent away defeats to Nice (3-1) and Nantes (1-0) before the international break, and Christophe Pélissier’s men will now be focused on avoiding suffering three consecutive losses for the first time since last September. [/p]
[p]Spirits will be high within the Monaco camp after they bounced back from their late 1-0 defeat at Lille to claim a 3-2 win over Strasbourg, but that was only secured via a 96th-minute winner after they had squandered a two-goal lead. It kept Adi HĂĽtter’s men in touch with the early pacesetters regardless, but he’ll be keen for things to tighten up at the back as his side have conceded at least one goal in their last four Ligue 1 games – their longest such streak since going eight matches without a clean sheet between December 2024 and February 2025. [/p]
[p]Head-to-Head History[/p]
[p]Monaco are unbeaten in the last nine H2Hs (W7, D2) and have won the last six. Auxerre could therefore lose seven consecutive matches against the same team in all competitions for the first time in 50 years. [/p]
[p]Hot Stats and Streaks[/p]
[p]Auxerre have not won consecutive home matches since November. [/p]
[p]Auxerre’s last six home games have seen a different result at half-time than full-time.[/p]
[p]None of Monaco’s last six matches have ended in a draw.[/p]
[p]Monaco have only conceded before half-time in one of their last six games. [/p]
[p]Key Players to Watch and Missing Players[/p]
[p]SĂ©kou Mara could be in line to make his Auxerre debut after arriving on loan from Strasbourg – six of his last seven scoring appearances ended in victory (L1). Folarin Balogun scored his first Monaco goal of the season in the victory over Strasbourg, and the MonĂ©gasques have won the last seven matches he’s scored in.[/p]
[p]Auxerre goalkeeper Donovan Léon remains suspended following his red card against Nice, while Monaco are sweating on the fitness of Lukas Hradecky after he came off against Strasbourg with a knee injury. [/p]

[p]Betting Analysis[/p]
[p]Given that Auxerre have not scored more than once in any of their last six home games, predicting under 1.5 home goals here seems like a good bet. [/p]
