Auxerre vs AS Monaco: Prediction for the Match on September 13, 2025
Round 4 brings a tricky away test to AS Monaco away at Auxerre. Monaco enters the third league round in the top four, lively up front, already having momentum from a 3–2 win over Strasbourg, but they lose veteran goalkeeper Lukas Hrádecký to a knee issue. Auxerre have struggled for consistency (1 win, 2 defeats) and must manage without suspended No.16 goalkeeper Donovan Léon, with long-term absentees in midfield. Coach Christophe Pélissier will look for organisation from his back four and quick transitions to trouble Monaco's high defensive line.
Claim Welcome BonusAuxerre: Form and Statistics
Auxerre began the season inconsistently: 1 win and 2 defeats in the first three rounds, with a mere 2 goals scored against 4 conceded (league tally). The set-up under Christophe Pélissier has been to place his team in a narrow defensive block while relying on quick counters from wide running by Josué Casimir and Ibrahim Osman to feed Lassine Sinayoko up front. French model of stability Sierralta in the centre of the backline, new from summer, alongside Akpa in defence stands firm. The bite in midfield is conjured up by Elisha Owusu and Kévin Danois when fit. Last match: A 1-0 defeat at Nantes (30 Aug) came after they struggled to break down nicely-set low blocks. They will also be required to adjust to their keeper change, as Donovan Léon is serving a two-match suspension and Théo De Percin looks to get the nod to start; that change will indeed weigh in against Monaco's direct strikers.
Auxerre Lineup
📝 Predicted Lineup: Théo De Percin; Marvin Senaya; Francisco Sierralta; Clément Akpa; Gideon Mensah; Josué Casimir; Elisha Owusu; Kévin Danois; Ibrahim Osman; Danny Namaso; Lassine Sinayoko.

AS Monaco: Form and Statistics
Monaco arrives with increased attacking strength—6 goals in 3 league matches early in the season—and operates under a 4-2-3-1 formation that works to overload through the half-space under the tutelage of Adi Hütter. Balogun is the focal striker with Akliouche and Golovin sharing the creative responsibilities. Defensive experience has been renovated with the summer acquisition of Eric Dier alongside young recruits such as Jordan Teze. However, with a knee-ligament issue suffered by Lukas Hrádecký, defensive solidity is compromised, and with full-back Vanderson tagged with a calf issue, matters haven't improved. Last Match - Monaco grinded out a 3-2 win over Strasbourg, showing offensive promises and some vulnerability to transitions. Expecting a high press from Hütter and loads of quick switches to isolate Auxerre full-backs.
AS Monaco Lineup
📝 Predicted Lineup:Philipp Köhn; Jordan Teze; Eric Dier; Christian Mawissa; Caio Henrique; Lamine Camara; Denis Zakaria; Maghnes Akliouche; Mika Biereth; Aleksandr Golovin; Folarin Balogun.
🚑 Injuries/Suspension: Lukas Hrádecký (injured), Philipp Köhn (doubt), Vanderson (injured)
