Auxerre

vs

Paris FC

KickoffSaturday 7 November 2026, 4:15pm

VenueStade de l'Abbé Deschamps

CompetitionFrench Ligue 1

Auxerre and Paris FC arrive at this fixture in completely different headspaces. Will Still’s side have been shipping goals at an alarming rate all season, sitting 14th and looking vulnerable every time an opposition attack gets going. Paris FC, on the other hand, are flying under Liam Rosenior, sitting fourth in Ligue 1 with 17 points from nine games and genuine ambitions of pushing into the title conversation. On paper this looks like a mismatch. But football rarely goes by the script, and there are a few threads here worth pulling on before you go anywhere near a betting slip.

The key tension in this fixture is between Paris FC’s brilliant home form and their distinctly ordinary record on the road. Rosenior’s men have been excellent at Stade Jean Bouin, but away from home they have lost two of their last three and have not picked up a win since that eye catching 3-2 victory at Marseille back in early October. Auxerre, meanwhile, have actually been reasonably solid in front of their own supporters despite the chaotic defensive numbers that define their season. This game is not as simple as the table gap suggests.

Auxerre vs Paris FC Match Details

This Ligue 1 matchday 10 fixture takes place at the Stade de l’Abbe Deschamps in Auxerre. It is a genuinely intriguing mid table versus top four collision, with Auxerre looking to protect home turf and Paris FC desperate to show their title credentials extend beyond their own backyard.

Team News

Both managers have selection headaches to deal with, and the injury situation for Paris FC in particular could be decisive in how this one unfolds.

• Lamfia Dioubate is suspended for Auxerre after picking up a red card in the 5-1 thrashing by Strasbourg, so Still loses a midfielder from the off
• Sekou Fofana is a doubt with a groin issue and will likely be a late call
• Bryan Okoh, Remy Labeau Lascary and Assane Diousse are all ruled out for the hosts
• Lassine Sinayoko, Ligue 1’s top scorer with eight goals, is a major doubt for Paris FC and his absence would be a significant blow
• Adama Camara, Luca Koleosho, Jonathan Ikone and Nhoa Sangui are all carrying issues and could miss out for the visitors

Predicted Lineups

Still looks set to line up with a back four behind a compact midfield, with Cameron Archer leading the line. With Dioubate out through suspension and Fofana uncertain, the midfield shape could look a little different to what Auxerre fans are used to, but Archer will be the focal point regardless.

Auxerre: Nardi; Makosso, Tuanzebe, Akpa; Sy, Danois, Ahamada, Oppegard; Faivre, Namaso; Archer

Rosenior faces a trickier selection puzzle. If Sinayoko misses out, Paris FC suddenly look a lot less dangerous going forward. The Guinean forward has scored half of their 16 league goals, so his absence is not just an inconvenience, it reshapes the entire attack. Lopez and Pagis would need to step up, but neither has the same clinical edge that Sinayoko brings.

Paris FC: Trapp; Traore, Chergui, Coppola, Otavio; Lopez, Lees Melou; Kebbal, Pagis, Simon; Sissoko

Recent Form

Auxerre’s season has been defined by that defensive fragility. They have kept just one clean sheet in nine league games, that being a 1-0 win over Nice back in September, and they go into this having shipped 23 goals already. That is three more than bottom of the table Le Havre. The 5-1 hammering from Strasbourg in their last outing was brutal, and losing Dioubate to a red card inside 11 minutes made a bad afternoon worse. Still has real work to do at the back.

That said, the home picture is genuinely different. Auxerre have conceded just five goals at the Stade de l’Abbe Deschamps across four home matches and scored five themselves, which tells a much calmer story than the overall stats suggest. They have picked up seven points from a possible 12 on home soil, which is a perfectly respectable return at this level. The away form of their opponents always matters when you look at this kind of record.

Paris FC’s form is impressive at the headline level but has real cracks once you dig into the away record. Four matches on the road, two defeats including losses to Lorient and Lens, and just four points collected from a possible 12. That is not the form of a side who can confidently go to Auxerre and expect three points as a matter of course. Rosenior will know his side need to fix that travelling problem if they are going to sustain a title challenge.

Head-to-Head Record

These two clubs have not had many direct meetings at Ligue 1 level given the respective journeys each has taken through French football, so there is not a wealth of head to head data to lean on heavily. What we do know is that Paris FC’s struggles on the road have been a consistent theme this season, and Auxerre’s home fortress, modest as it is, has held up better than their overall record implies.

There is no dominant pattern from recent encounters to point to definitively, which means the form context and squad situations carry more weight in this analysis than any historical tendency between the two sides.

Key Stats

• Auxerre have conceded 23 Ligue 1 goals in nine games, the worst defensive record in the division, but just five of those have come at home
• Paris FC have taken only four points from four away matches this season, with two defeats in their last two on the road
• Lassine Sinayoko accounts for eight of Paris FC’s 16 league goals. If he does not play, they lose half their goal threat at a stroke

Auxerre vs Paris FC Betting Tips

This fixture has draw written all over it in terms of narrative, but there are some specific markets where the stats create real value. Auxerre are unlikely to shut Paris FC out entirely even at home, and the visitors carry enough quality to threaten even without Sinayoko. The goals markets and both teams to score look the most interesting angles here, while Cameron Archer is the standout name in the first scorer conversation.

First Goalscorer Prediction

Cameron Archer is the obvious pick. Six goals in nine Ligue 1 games makes him the most in form striker on the pitch, and he will be the one Auxerre lean on to do damage against a Paris FC back line that has not exactly been airtight on its travels. He is their main man and in the kind of form that makes him genuinely difficult to leave off a first scorer bet.

Corners Prediction

Both sides like to get forward and neither is particularly conservative in terms of attacking intent. With Paris FC likely to push bodies forward looking for the goal that could move them to within striking distance of the top, and Auxerre looking to hit on the counter, there should be a decent volume of set piece situations. Over 9.5 corners looks a reasonable call for this one.

Over and Under Goals Prediction

Auxerre have conceded freely all season and even in their more composed home performances, goals have tended to come at both ends. Paris FC’s away games have not been tight affairs either. Over 2.5 goals feels well backed by the evidence here, particularly if Sinayoko is fit enough to feature or his absence forces teammates to shoot more from range to compensate.

Both Teams To Score (BTTS) Prediction

Yes. Auxerre have scored in their last four home games and Paris FC, even without their top scorer at full fitness, have enough creativity in midfield to find the net. Auxerre’s attack, led by Archer, is good enough to test a Paris FC defence that has not been impenetrable away from home. Both teams to score lands as the most logical call in this fixture.

Cards Prediction

Auxerre have already lost a player to a red card in their last outing and there is a bit of desperation about some of their defensive play given how exposed they get. Paris FC will be frustrated if they are chasing the game and that tends to bring out the yellow cards in midfield battles. Over 3.5 cards looks like a reasonable punt given the stakes for both sides and the competitive edge this derby style promotion versus consolidation clash brings.

Correct Score Prediction

A 2-1 win for Auxerre feels like it reflects the balance of the game best. Home advantage, Archer in form, Paris FC’s poor away record and the potential absence of Sinayoko all nudge things towards the hosts. But Paris FC are too good to be shut out, and an end to end affair where Auxerre just about nick it seems the most likely outcome.

Bet Builder Tip

Archer scoring first in a game where both teams find the net and the total clears 2.5 is a coherent combination that reflects everything we know about how this fixture is likely to play out.

Final Match Prediction

Auxerre 2-1 Paris FC. The table gap flatters the visitors here. Paris FC’s away form has been a genuine problem all season, and rolling into Auxerre potentially without their top scorer and with a string of injury doubts is not the ideal preparation. Still’s side are flawed but competitive at home, and Archer is the kind of striker who can win a game on his own on a good day.

Rosenior will be proud of what his squad has built so far this season, but the road trip to Auxerre could be where the limits of their travelling form catch up with them again. A narrow home win, goals at both ends, and another reminder that Paris FC need to work out how to be as good away as they are in front of their own supporters.
