Auxerre vs Paris FC Prediction & Betting Tips (8 February)

The final sprint for maintenance is already launched for Auxerre, penultimate with a disbursement of 7 points on the first non-relegation club. Still a significant delay despite their recent 0-0 draw in Toulouse. Stuck in the relegation zone for many weeks, AJA suffered 4 defeats in the Championship, including at the start of the year against Brest 2-0, Lens 1-0 and PSG 0-1. The worst attack in Ligue 1 has not yet scored in 2026. Paris FC gave itself some breathing room at the start of the year in the race to maintain itself, with 3 games in a row without defeat in Ligue 1.

The promoted team got the better of a direct competitor, Nantes 1-2 and was neutralized by Angers 0-0 before depriving Marseille of a victory on the gong 2-2, a match in which it trailed by two goals at the end. 82nd minute. 14th, the Ile-de-France club is ahead of the virtual play-off by 7 points, and traveled to Lorient on Wednesday in the round of 16 of the Coupe de France. 

The Auxerre group does not include central defender Sierralta (starter), already out of the last 4 Championship matches. However, coach Christophe Pélissier hopes to be able to count on the versatile El Azzouzi (defender or midfielder), who was injured in Toulouse. If the Icaunais leaders let the winger Osman leave (no goals) and the promising midfielder Matondo, who will be in the other camp this Sunday, they completed the arrival of Okoh (central defender), the midfielder Ahamada and the well-known Faivre (attacker), who passed through Lyon, Lorient and Brest among others. The three reinforcements are applying for tenure. The team's top scorer in the Championship with 6 goals, Sinayoko has not scored in almost two months. Paris FC is once again deprived of several players this weekend. Midfielder Lees-Melou could be a little short and defenders Traoré, Chergui and De Smet, also starters, are injured.

Riou, Hamel, Alakouch, Gueye and Dicko, all confined to the substitutes' bench, also remain out of use. Hampered by a quadriceps, midfielder Maxime Lopez (holder) is uncertain. Arriving at the end of the transfer window, former Auxerre player Matondo and renowned scorer Ciro Immobile should play the leading roles in the second part of the season. Striker Koleosho (1 goal in L1) already provides guarantees coming off the bench. Number 1 goalkeeper Trapp finds his place in goal after the Coupe de France.
