Team News
Auxerre
Saint-Etienne
- Auxerre are enduring a difficult run of form, winless in their last seven matches across all competitions, including a 2-0 loss to Angers in their most recent outing. However, AJA are known to be especially good at home, where they notably drew against PSG, Lens and Lille consecutively.
- Injuries to Kevin Danois, Ousoumane Camara, and Ange Loic, combined with Gabriel Osho’s suspension, leaves the team shorthanded. However, forward Hamed Junior Traoré remains a key player, ranking seventh among Ligue 1’s top scorers.
- Historically, Auxerre have performed well against Saint-Étienne, winning 13 of their 34 encounters, with 14 ending in draws. Despite their struggles, Auxerre will leverage their home advantage to secure a victory and end their poor run of form.
- AS Saint-Étienne kicked off the year with a solid 3-1 victory over Reims but stumbled slightly with a 1-1 draw against Nantes in their most recent outing. Their new coach, Eirik Horneland, has been doing wonders, metamorphosing them into a more coherent team, having even given PSG a run for their money.
- With no significant injuries reported, Saint-Étienne are at full strength and will lean on Zurab Davitashvili, their top scorer with six goals this season. Their summer signing, Lucas Stassin, is seemingly finding his feet with Les Verts to lead the charge. However, the suspension of their midfield Maestro Benjamin Bouchouari could cost them.
- Saint-Étienne is confident from their 3-1 victory over Auxerre earlier this season and will be determined to repeat that result. The Horneland men have an excellent opportunity to claim three vital points and climb the Ligue 1 table.
