Auxerre
Christophe Pélissier's side caused a sensation in the last round by thrashing Marseille 3-0 at home. This victory ended a 10-match winless streak in the league (6 draws, 4 losses), and it is worth noting that Auxerre managed to score at least two goals in four consecutive matches. The club kept a clean sheet for the first time in their last six Ligue 1 games. Thanks to three points gained, the club climbed to 11th place in the standings.
- Auxerre has scored in 5 consecutive league matches.

Auxerre vs. Strasbourg: Match Prediction
The opponents met less than two months ago at Strasbourg's ground, where Strasbourg defeated Christophe Pélissier's side 3-1. This was one of Auxerre's three losses in their last 10 league matches (1 win, 6 draws). However, it's important to note that the team only lost during this stretch in away games. At home, Auxerre is a formidable force, remaining unbeaten in ten Ligue 1 matches. Even PSG and Marseille dropped points at the Stade Abbé-Deschamps.
Strasbourg, however, has not won in 13 of their last 16 away matches in this tournament (4 draws, 9 losses). One of the victories in this period was against struggling Le Havre. The previous visit to Auxerre in Ligue 1 also ended unsuccessfully for the club (0-1). I think the visitors will find it difficult to secure points against a strong home team.
My prediction: "Auxerre to win or draw"
