Paris FC vs Auxerre prediction: FRANCE: Ligue 1 betting tips on match 2025-11-28 18:00.
[p]Paris FC’s battle against the drop continues as they host Ligue 1 basement boys Auxerre on matchday 14.[/p]
[p]Match News and Current Form[/p]
[p]Paris FC have suffered back-to-back defeats in their last two matches, but still have a three-point buffer to the relegation spots and can reflect fondly on a bright start to life in France’s top flight. Only five promoted teams have ever scored as many goals as Les Bleus (20) in the first 13 rounds of a Ligue 1 campaign this century, and two of those went on to qualify for Europe! Being shackled with the joint third-worst defensive record in the division in that time serves to temper expectations a little, as does a run of just one win from their last five games at Stade Jean-Bouin (D1, L3).[/p]
[p]Auxerre have gone eight matches without a win (D2, L6) and prop up Ligue 1, while unsurprisingly, despite his reputation as an expert at avoiding relegation, pressure is mounting on manager Christophe Pélissier. Last weekend’s stalemate with Lyon did at least end a run of four straight defeats, but it also saw the Burgundy outfit’s streak without a goal stretch to five games. They have never gone six matches without scoring in the top flight before, but ominously, they have failed to find the net in four of their six away league encounters this season (D1, L5).[/p]
[p]Head-to-Head History[/p]
[p]This will be the pair’s first-ever Ligue 1 meeting. Paris FC won just one of their last six Ligue 2 H2Hs (D2, L3), and were kept scoreless four times in that sequence.[/p]
[p]Hot Stats and Streaks[/p]
[p]Paris FC have conceded the joint-most penalties of any side in Europe’s top-five leagues this season going into the weekend (six).[/p]
[p]Paris FC have averaged 6.5 corners per home match in Ligue 1 so far this term. [/p]
[p]Auxerre have conceded first in nine league games this season and lost them all.[/p]
[p]No side has received more than Auxerre’s four red cards across the first 13 Ligue 1 matchdays in 2025/26.[/p]
[p]Key Players to Watch and Missing Players[/p]
[p]Paris FC defender Thibault De Smet has been cautioned four times in his last four appearances, with three of those bookings received in the second half. Auxerre frontman Josué Casimir has only been on the winning side in one of his five career H2Hs against Les Bleus (D2, L2).[/p]
[p]Paris FC may be without Samir Chergui after he picked up an injury against Lille on Sunday, with Pierre Lees-Melou also a doubt after he came off in the same game. Auxerre do not seem to have any fresh absentees.[/p]
