Away from home in the league, Paris FC have also played 4 matches, recording 1 win, 1 draw and 2 defeats, with 4 goals scored and 5 conceded.

Players to watch

Cameron Archer is the top scorer for Auxerre in Ligue 1 this season with 6 goals, and he carries much of the attacking burden for the home side.

Lassine Sinayoko leads the scoring for Paris FC in the league this season with 8 goals, making him the more prolific of the two leading scorers.

How the two sides tend to play

The numbers point to open matches involving Auxerre. In their last 5 matches they have scored in all 5, but they have not kept a clean sheet, and both teams have found the net in all 5. Across the league season, their 23 goals conceded from 9 matches is a figure the manager will want to improve.

Paris FC have the stronger defensive record overall, with 10 goals conceded from 9 league matches, alongside 16 scored. Their recent matches have still been lively: they scored in 4 of their last 5 and kept no clean sheets, with both teams scoring in 4 of those 5 matches.

With neither side keeping a clean sheet in their last 5 matches, both defences have questions to answer, while the attacking output of each team suggests chances at both ends.
