Draw
Not only that Clermont has won five games in a row, they have three victories in away games which is a huge accomplishment for this club. Home team fans might comfort themselves that the visiting team won't be much eager to put the work in because they have nothing to play for anymore with their Ligue 1 status safe, but they are mistaken as shown in recent matches that Clermont played, and more importantly, won. Auxerre hasn't beaten Clermont in the last five matches, the last victory dating to 2019. For this Auxerre vs Clermont prediction, a draw seems like a viable conclusion of a match that the home team can't afford to lose.
Under 2.5 Goals
Both of these teams belong on a list of clubs with a low-scoring attack, but with different fortunes when it comes to their results. Clermont had two under 2.5 goals matches in their last five outings while Auxerre can show the same stats. But, for this Auxerre vs Clermont match, their h2h stat is more important. When we look at their last ten games, only two ended with more than two goals in the back of the net, and one of those matches was played this season when Clermont won 2-1. With the stakes so high, especially for the hosts, it is logical to assume that Auxerre will put up a defensive wall to stop the ever-improving Clermont's forward line.

The home team put on a brave performance against Marseille last week but still failed to get any points. However, they are still outside the relegation zone, but only by a single point. The game this weekend is of utmost importance and a win could give the team a significant boost in their efforts to fight another day in Ligue 1. Han-Noah Massengo is missing through injury.
Potential lineup: Radu, Jeanvier, Jubal, Pellenard, Raveloson, M'Changama, Toure, Zedadka, Hein, Da Costa, Niang.
Clermont
They already surpassed their last season's tally by a couple of miles and everything they do until the rest of the season is another huge plus for Clermont. They are in the middle of a five-match winning streak and will be confident to get something in return when they visit Auxerre on Sunday. Mateusz Wieteska is suspended.
Potential lineup: Diaw, Allevinah, Caufriez, Seidu, Ogier, Zeffane, Rashani, Gastien, Gonalons, Muhammed Cham, Kyei.
Player to Watch: Muhammed Cham
After going through a couple of loan periods in the last two seasons, the 22-year-old Austrian midfielder Muhammed Cham finally got his chance with Clermont and took advantage of it in a big way. He is one of the team's best players this season scoring seven goals in 33 league appearances while also assisting three times.
