Auxerre, 11th in the current standings with 7 wins, 7 draws, and 9 losses, have had moments of brilliance though they are inconsistent. Their recent 3-0 win against Marseille, courtesy of Gaëtan Perrin's goal and Jubal's double (one a penalty and man-of-the-match show), is an example of their potential when the pieces fall into place for them.
At home, their record stands at 1 win, 3 draws, and 1 defeat. The team is inconsistent but helped by a 3-game unbeaten run. The tactical flexibility of coach Christophe Pélissier to switch between different formations like 5-4-1, 4-3-2-1, and 3-4-2-1 allows Auxerre to adjust strategy to attack weak points.
Auxerre have been involved in high-scoring affairs (over 2.5 goals in 4 of their last 5 matches) and overall tend to score first in 4 out of 5 matches. Their consistency is also evident in a clean sheet record for keeping corners under 10.5.
Strasbourg Preview
Strasbourg, who stand at 7th position with 9 wins, 7 draws, and 7 losses, have a different tale to tell. Away from home, 3 wins, 1 draw, and 1 loss show the potency of their away and unfavorable weather.
After a recent goalless draw against Brest, where Mamadou Sarr was the man-of-the-match, manager Liam Rosenior has employed tactics leaning towards a solid defensive formation. Employing formations such as 3-4-2-1 or 3-4-1-2, the team had secured a clean sheet in their last 3 games and employed a defensive style which produces under 2.5 goals in 4 out of 5 matches.
Although their matches are low-scoring, Strasbourg's well-organized strategy and efficient counter-attacks make them a force to be reckoned with on the counter, having a tendency to restrict cornering frequency (less than 10.5 in 4 out of 5 matches).
Head to Head
Historically, the two clubs share an evenly matched rivalry. Although Auxerre has 4 wins under its belt, Strasbourg has achieved 5 (and 1 draw), which guarantees closely fought dynamics in the match.
The last 8 head-to-head clashes have been mainly low-scoring games, with 6 of them having fewer than 2.5 goals. Also, all recent games have seen the teams combined take fewer than 10.5 corners, pointing towards a closely contested tactical encounter rather than an end-to-end, crazy spectacle.
