Auxerre desperately need points on Saturday, Nov 21 at 5:00 PM in the Ligue 1. With the team sitting in the bottom three, this is quickly becoming a must-win situation.

AS Monaco come into this fixture in mixed form (1W 0D 0L). Auxerre travel in mixed form (0W 0D 1L), which may hand the initiative to the hosts. AS Monaco won their last outing, while Auxerre suffered defeat — home advantage backed by momentum.

Verdict: The gulf in league position makes AS Monaco clear favorites, but Auxerre have shown they can grind out results. Expect AS Monaco to take the points, potentially without being at their best.
