The Matchday 6 clash in Ligue 1 between PSG and Auxerre will take place on September 27 at the Parc des Princes in Paris. PSG vs. Auxerre: prediction and betting odds, statistics.
PSG
The Parisians began their Ligue 1 campaign with four consecutive wins and remained the only team without dropped points in the current tournament until last Monday. However, they suffered a defeat in a crucial away match against Marseille in the previous round. This ended PSG's six-match winning streak in the league, and for the first time in 25 Ligue 1 games, Luis Enrique's men failed to score. More importantly, PSG lost their top spot in the table, overtaken by Monaco.
- The team has scored in their last 35 home league matches in the French championship.
- PSG's uncompromising streak in this tournament spans 9 games (6 wins, 3 losses).
- The Parisians have scored no more than 2 goals in 9 of their last 12 Ligue 1 matches.
Predicted lineup for PSG (3-5-2)
Lucas Chevalier – Illya Zabarnyi, Marquinhos, William Pacho – Achraf Hakimi, Fabian Ruiz, Vitinha, Warren Zaire-Emery, Nuno Mendes – Goncalo Ramos, Khvicha Kvaratskhelia.
Due to injury, key midfielder Joao Neves, as well as forwards Bradley Barcola, Desire Doue, and Ousmane Dembele, who won the Ballon d'Or this week, are unavailable.
Auxerre
After winning their opening match of the championship, the team faced a series of setbacks, but last week they secured an important 3 points in a home game against Toulouse. This ended a disappointing run of 3 consecutive Ligue 1 defeats, and Auxerre improved their standings, climbing to 10th place in the table. Notably, Christophe Pelissier's men have yet to earn points away from home this season.
- Auxerre has not won in 6 of their last 8 Ligue 1 matches (1 draw, 5 losses).
- At least 2 goals have been scored in 17 of their last 19 away league games.
- The team's uncompromising streak in this tournament stands at 6 matches (2 wins, 4 losses).
Predicted lineup for Auxerre (5-4-1)
Donovan Leon – Fredrik Oppegard, Gideon Mensah, Telly Sive, Francisco Sierralta, Marvin Senaya – Elisha Owusu, Keven Danoua, Danny Louder, Lassine Sinayoko – Sekou Mara.
The suspension of midfielder Josue Casimir has ended, but defender Fredrik Oppegard is now serving a ban. Another defender, Marvin Senaya, is doubtful due to injury. Midfielder Oussama El Azzouzi and defender Sinaly Diomande are also injured.

Match Prediction: PSG vs. Auxerre
PSG is typically considered the clear favorite, as in any other match in the French championship. However, it's important to note that the team is not flawless in defense. Luis Enrique's side has conceded in 13 of their last 17 Ligue 1 matches. At home, the pattern is similar – in the last 13 home league games, the Parisians have kept a clean sheet only 3 times.
Now, PSG will face Auxerre, who have been picking up points with varying success, but even in defeats, they rarely fail to score. The club has found the net in 14 of their last 15 Ligue 1 games. Strictly considering away matches, it's noteworthy that only in their last outing did Auxerre's 9-match scoring streak in the French championship come to an end.
Most likely, regardless of the outcome, Auxerre will manage to trouble PSG with at least 1 goal. Prediction – Auxerre Individual Total Over 0.5
