*Odds from Ladbrokes, subject to change
Auxerre's struggles continued with a 1-1 draw against Saint-Etienne last weekend. They are now without a win in their last eight games. Although Christopher Pelissier's side have been one of the best home teams in Ligue 1, their record on the road does not inspire much confidence.
As it stands, Auxerre are 11th in the French top flight, eight places behind Monaco.
Given Auxerre's recent shortcomings, it is unsurprising that Monaco are the expected winners at 7/20 (1.35). Teams with these odds usually have a 74.1% probability of winning.

It is also important to note that fewer than three goals were scored in four of Auxerre's last five trips to this stadium. Keeping in mind that four of the visiting team's last five matches went south of the 2.5-goal marker, under 2.5 total goals has an appealing look at 7/4 (2.75). That one has a 36.4% chance of landing.

Player to watch: Ben Seghir
To be fair, Eliesse Ben Seghir has been going through a rough patch, as he has not scored or registered an assist in his last seven appearances in all competitions. However, the Moroccan teenager has a solid track record against Auxerre, having scored three times in the last three clashes between these teams. Ben Seghir will fancy his chances against Auxerre once again.
