Auxerre
Christophe Pelissier's side enters this match on a five-game winless streak in the league (1 draw and 4 losses). In the last two rounds, the club failed to score against their opponents: losing 0-1 at home to Le Havre and suffering a 0-3 defeat away to Strasbourg. The team remains in the relegation zone but is just two points away from the safety of 15th place.
- The club has not won in 8 of their last 9 Ligue 1 games (1 draw and 7 losses).
- Auxerre has scored exactly 1 goal in 8 of their last 9 home league matches.
- The team has failed to win the second half in 9 consecutive Ligue 1 matches (5 draws and 4 losses).
Predicted lineup for Auxerre (4-3-3)
Donovan Leon – Clément Akpa, Fredrik Oppegard, Marvin Senaya, Sinaly Diomande – Elisha Owusu, Oussama El Azzouzi, Assane Dioussé – Josue Casimir, Ibrahim Osman, Lassine Sinayoko.
Marseille
The team hadn't dropped points in two consecutive Ligue 1 matches since March. However, it happened again – the club first lost 1-2 away to Lens and then drew 2-2 at home with Angers. Marseille could have won the last match but conceded a goal in the 96th minute. As a result, Marseille not only lost the top spot but also dropped to third place. However, they are only two points behind league leaders PSG. Additionally, Marseille remains the most prolific team in the league, averaging 2.4 goals per game.
- The club has not lost in 6 of their last 7 Ligue 1 games (5 wins and 1 draw).
- Three or more goals have been scored in Marseille's last 5 league matches.
- Marseille has not won in 8 of their last 11 away Ligue 1 matches (1 draw and 7 losses).
Predicted lineup for Marseille (4-2-3-1)
Gerónimo Rulli – C.J. Egan-Riley, Emerson Palmieri, Nayef Aguerd, Amir Murillo – Pierre-Emile Højbjerg, Arthur Vermeeren – Angel Gomes, Igor Paixão, Mason Greenwood – Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang.
Unavailable due to injuries: defenders Facundo Medina and Leonardo Balerdi, midfielders Geoffrey Kondogbia and Timothy Weah, and forward Amine Gouiri. Midfielder Bilal Nadir is doubtful for the match.

Auxerre vs. Marseille: Match Prediction
A clash between teams from opposite ends of the Ligue 1 standings. Marseille has not won in two consecutive matches, losing the top spot, and is eager to secure three points here. The hosts are at the bottom of the table and aim to escape the relegation zone as soon as possible. Both teams will need to excel in attack for a positive outcome in this game.
I expect both teams to score in this encounter. Auxerre consistently finds the net at home, though they have conceded in 6 of their last 8 home Ligue 1 matches. Marseille scores the most in the league and has scored in 7 of their last 10 away league games. However, they also frequently concede on the road, having done so in 10 of their last 11 away Ligue 1 matches.
My prediction – Both teams to score – yes
