Troyes welcome Auxerre at Stade de l'Aube, Troyes on Saturday, Mar 20 at 5:00 PM in a Ligue 1 fixture that's tighter on paper than the positions suggest — just 2 points split them in the table.

Troyes come into this fixture struggling badly (1W 3L in last 5). Auxerre, meanwhile, arrive in mixed form (2W 0D 3L) — actually the better-performing side in recent weeks.

Despite playing at home, Troyes face a side that has dominated this fixture historically. Auxerre have won 7 of 10 encounters, with 1 draws. Their last encounter ended in Troyes won 1–2.

Verdict: This looks an evenly matched contest. Home advantage gives Troyes a slight edge, but Auxerre are capable of causing problems. A draw would be a fair result.
