Auxerre played out a 2-2 draw with Stade Brestois last weekend, extending their winless run to 11 matches. As a result of their abysmal run of form, Christophe Pelissier's men have dropped to 12th in the Ligue 1 table.

As it stands, Marseille are the expected winners at 4/7 (1.57). Teams with these odds usually have a 63.6% probability of winning.
