Auxerre vs Monaco prediction: Monegasques to take the cake

Key stats

• Auxerre are winless in nine of their last 10 matches.
• The hosts have netted three goals in each of their last two outings (W1, L1).
• Monaco have won two of their previous five competitive games (D1, L2).
• Les Monegasques are on a four-match winless streak away from home.

Correct score prediction: Auxerre 1-2 Monaco

Auxerre's hopes of building momentum following their 3-1 win over Metz were dashed in a 4-3 defeat to Lille. Christophe Pelisser’s men will be glad to play a third successive fixture on home turf, although their form has been poor at best, winning just once at Stade de l’Abbe Deschamps in six hostings. Monaco, meanwhile, saw their own progress stall as they succumbed to a narrow defeat at Marseille, making it back-to-back losses since they beat Paris Saint-Germain. The visitors have endured four consecutive winless matches away from home, and Auxerre present the perfect opportunity for them to leave their shortcomings behind. With defensive solidity favouring the visitors and the hosts struggling for consistency, Monaco are expected to progress to the next round.

Pre-game odds and win probability: Monaco to progress

• HOME: 38/10 (4.80) – 20.8%
• DRAW: 31/10 (4.10) – 24.3%
• AWAY: 8/11 (1.72) – 58.1%

*odds from Oddschecker, subject to change The hosts have exited Coupe de France at this stage for the past two seasons, making this an ominous fixture for them in recent years. They need to make a strong statement, but they are clearly the underdogs here with odds of 38/10 (4.80) – indicating a 20.8% probability of victory. Monaco have scored two and conceded two in their last four fixtures. They will count on their superior defensive form to keep Auxerre at bay. They are favoured with 8/11 (1.72) odds. This implies a 58.1% success rate. Don’t forget to check out more of our football betting tips page after analysing our Auxerre vs Monaco predictions.
