While they have been finding the net in other competitions, they have yet to register a league win this season. Auxerre, meanwhile, has secured two wins in their six league matches but has also suffered four defeats. Their recent form in Ligue 1 shows a pattern of inconsistency, including a heavy loss away to Rennes in their last league outing. Both teams have shown vulnerabilities in defence throughout their recent matches.
