Paris FC vs Auxerre prediction: Clean sheet victory for the hosts
Key stats
- Paris FC have won just once in their last six Ligue 1 outings (D1, L4).
- The Parisians have scored 20 goals in 13 games – the seventh-best record in the league.
- Auxerre have scored seven goals in 13 games – the worst goalscoring record in the league.
- AJA have failed to score in their last five consecutive fixtures.
Correct score prediction: Paris FC 2-0 Auxerre
Ater a 4-2 loss to Lille, Paris FC have now tasted their fourth loss in their last six games (D1, W1). Stephane Gilli’s men have been scoring consistently though, failing to find the back of the net only twice across their opening 13 Ligue 1 games.
In stark contrast, Auxerre have failed to score in each of their last five outings (D1, L4). Christophe Pelissier’s men are now early season favourites to return to the second division, as they lie six points behind their former Ligue 2 counterparts Paris FC.
Despite their recent defeats, Paris FC seem to have some momentum in their favour. Expect the visitors to return home without a point in what is bound to be a one-sided affair.
Pre-game odds and win probability: Paris with the momentum
- HOME: 4/5 (1.80) – 55.5%
- DRAW: 27/10 (3.70) – 27%
- AWAY: 16/5 (4.20) – 23.8%
*odds from Ladbrokes, subject to change
Les Bleus have made a remarkable start to their first-ever Ligue 1 season, and bookies predict the hosts win for the fifth time in 14 league games this time around. Their home advantage speaks volumes, as bookmakers place odds of 4/5 (1.80), indicating a 55.5% win probability for the home side.
Auxerre, meanwhile, are priced much lower than the hosts to grab all three points, backed by a 23.8% win probability rate.

Player to watch: Ilan Kebbal
Having made an impressive start to the Ligue 1 season, Ilan Kebbal has slowed down in recent weeks, now failing to score a goal in three successive games. Nonetheless, with five goals and four assists, the Algerian forward is still a very real threat for Auxerre’s backline to take note of.
