Ending all square
Auxerre have made an alright start to the season with four points for their opening three games but we only see them adding another one point to their tally here. Strasbourg are winless to date but have showed signs of promise in recent outings as they've avoided defeat in each of their last two games; they were not beaten out of sight in their defeat either so have shown that they are far from a soft touch. On top of the form both teams have displayed, the recent head to head record is even too with each club having recorded two wins and one game ending level across the last four clashes.
Both teams will score
Our next tip for this match is that we'll see goals at both ends of the pitch. Auxerre have seen goals at both ends in each of their last four matches whilst Strasbourg have only seen one of their last five games end with a nil in the final score line. With that sort of form, it's hard to imagine either keeper having a quiet afternoon between the sticks!

Will Strasbourg look to win their first game or will a draw do?
Last season Auxerre were in Ligue 2 and Strasbourg were battling for European football – albeit they ultimately fell short. With that in mind, very few people would have had Auxerre above Strasbourg in the table heading into this match. Not only are they above them but they could put five points between them with a win – that would be noteworthy given we're only in August!
Auxerre will be moderately happy with the start they've made to the new season and, after winning last time out, they'll be looking at this fixture knowing there is a real chance of adding another three points to their tally based on the way their visitors have performed of late. That would be a huge confidence boost for the newly promoted hosts.
Auxerre Predicted lineup – Costil, Joly, Jubal, Jeanvier, Boto, Perrin, Toure, Autret, Sakhi, Hein, Dugimont
It is really early days in the Ligue 1 season but Strasbourg are coming into a strange moment right now. They're not being outclassed in games but at some point they'll need to go for the win; an away trip to Auxerre is certainly winnable so the big question is will the visitors open up or will they sit tight to bank an away point? Given how they performed last year – finishing sixth – you'd expect them to go and dominate this match.
Strasbourg Predicted lineup – Sels, Djiku, Perrin, LeMarchand, Delaine, Prcic, Bellegard, Thomasson, Lienard, Diallo, Gameiro
