Monaco vs. Auxerre: Match Prediction
Adi Hütter's side has shown creativity in this Ligue 1 season but rarely scores many goals. The club has not scored more than twice in 6 of their last 7 league matches. During this stretch, they failed to score against modest Reims (0-0) and only broke through the defense of tournament outsiders Montpellier once (1-2). It is also worth noting that Monaco is preparing for this game following a Champions League match, which might negatively impact the players' physical readiness.
Auxerre has been solid defensively in recent league games. The team has not conceded more than two goals in 11 of their last 12 Ligue 1 matches. During this period, they neutralized PSG (0-0) and Lille (0-0) and performed admirably against strong opponents like Lyon (2-2) and Marseille (3-1). I expect Auxerre to concede few goals in the upcoming match. My prediction: Monaco Individual Total Under 2.5
