Auxerre – Grenoble

The Ligue 2 tie at Stade de l’Abbé Deschamps on Monday will see home side AJ Auxerre play opponents Greno.ble. The hosts will be hoping for a repeat of their last result, following a 1-2 Ligue 2 success over Amiens SC. It’s been all too rare in recent games that AJ Auxerre have managed to hold out for a full 90 minutes. The facts show that AJ Auxerre have failed to prevent opponents from scoring in 5 of their previous 6 clashes, giving up 8 goals along the way. In any event, it remains to be seen whether that trend will be maintained here in this game or not.

Following on from suffering a loss in their previous game against Paris FC in Ligue 2 action, Grenoble will be aiming to make amends here. Checking on their past head-to-head clashes dating back to 06/02/2010 shows that AJ Auxerre have won 1 of them and Grenoble 2, with the tally of drawn games standing at 3.

The last league game featuring the two was Ligue 2 match day 37 on 08/05/2021 and the score finished AJ Auxerre 1-1 Grenoble. Our thinking is that Grenoble will do well to get anything against this AJ Auxerre lineup who we think might well do enough to score at the other end and edge ahead.
