AJ Auxerre

WWLDDL ⚖

After a loss in their previous game against USL Dunkerque in Coupe De France action, AJ Auxerre and their travelling supporters will be hoping that they can get a better result in this one.

In that match, AJ Auxerre had 53% possession and 9 attempts at goal with 2 of them on target. Dunkerque got 13 shots on goal with 4 on target. Enzo Bardeli (26') was the scorer for USL Dunkerque.

Throughout their six latest matches, Christophe Pélissier's AJ Auxerre have turned their attacks into goals a total of 6 times - earning them the goals per game average of 1.

Going into this one, AJ Auxerre haven't beaten Strasbourg in games played away from home for the previous 5 league matches. Not the best of away records.

📋 Team News: Strasbourg

Caleb Wiley (Shoulder injury) and Moïse Sahi Dion (Achilles tendon rupture) won’t be able to feature for Strasbourg gaffer Liam Rosenior.

In our view, Le Racing look set to go for a 4-2-3-1 system in the match, handing starts to Djordje Petrovic, Guela Doue, Mamadou Sarr, Ismael Doukoure, Diego Moreira, Habib Diarra, Andrey Santos, Dilane Bakwa, Sekou Mara, Sebastian Nanasi and Emanuel Emegha.

🗞️ Team News: AJ Auxerre

AJ Auxerre boss Christophe Pélissier has some current player fitness concerns. Nathan Buayi-Kiala (Cruciate ligament injury) and Lasso Coulibaly (Cruciate ligament injury) are those who can’t be considered.

We believe AJA might utilise a 3-4-2-1 lineup, starting Theo De Percin, Sinaly Diomande, Jubal, Clement Akpa, Ki-Jana Hoever, Gideon Mensah, Elisha Owusu, Hamed Traore, Gaetan Perrin, Ado Onaiwu and Lassine Sinayoko.

🧠 Prediction

Our assessment is that Strasbourg will probably score a couple of goals when they meet AJ Auxerre, who will not find it easy scoring a goal of their own.

Accordingly, we see a controlled 2-0 winning score for Strasbourg after 90 minutes.
