Auxerre vs AS Monaco Prediction and Betting Tips | September 14th 2024

AS Monaco return to action in Ligue 1 when they visit the Stade de l'Abbé Deschamps to take on Auxerre on Saturday. Having lost the last four meetings between the two sides, Christophe Pélissier’s men will head into the weekend seeking to get one over the visitors and snap their two-game losing run.

Auxerre suffered consecutive defeats for the first time this season as they fell to a 3-1 loss against Le Havre in their last outing before the international break.

Before that, Pélissier’s side marked their return to the top flight with a 2-1 home win over OGC Nice in August’s season opener, one week before suffering a 2-0 defeat against Nantes.

Auxerre will be backing themselves to find their feet this weekend as they return home, where they have won their last six competitive games since March.

Meanwhile, AS Monaco were left spitting feathers just before the international break as they played out a 1-1 draw with RC Lens after giving up their lead in the 94th minute.

Adolf Hutter’s men had kicked off the season with a 1-0 victory over Saint-Etienne on August 17, one week before seeing off Olympique Lyon 2-0 at the Groupama Stadium.

Monaco head into the weekend unbeaten in their last six Ligue 1 games, claiming five wins and one draw since a 3-2 loss to Lyon on April 28.
