Monaco vs Auxerre Prediction 1 February 2025

🔊 Can Auxerre compete with one of the best teams in France? In the 20th round of Ligue 1, this club will travel to face Monaco, and claiming points will be very difficult for them. Auxerre has been unable to win for eight matches, and it's unlikely that this streak can be broken against a team that is in the top three. You can learn about the most likely scenario of this match and optimal betting options from our editorial's prediction.

📊 H2H

In six out of the last ten head-to-head meetings, Monaco managed to secure a victory, while Auxerre won only twice. Moreover, the Monegasques have consistently won the last five matches between these teams. So it's worth considering the option of a Monaco Win.

🔴 Monaco

Monaco suffered a fiasco in the Champions League, having a very unsuccessful trip to Inter (0:3). However, this game didn't matter for the French team as they still secured a spot in the playoffs. So now the Monegasques can focus on Ligue 1, where there's fierce competition for places at the top of the standings. So far, the club manages to stay in the top three, but there are several teams on their tail ready to displace Monaco from the top three at the first mistake.

The list of injured players for the Monegasques doesn't look too daunting, so the lineup for the next round will be close to optimal. Currently, the coaching staff cannot count on defender Singo and forwards Balogun and Ilenikena.

⚪ Auxerre

In the previous round, Auxerre once again missed out on points, drawing at home with Saint-Étienne (1:1). This extended the club's winless streak to eight matches, placing them only 11th in Ligue 1. Moreover, in the previous three rounds, the team managed to score only one goal, so it's hard to expect high scoring in the upcoming rounds.

Currently, Auxerre has three players in the infirmary who will definitely miss the next match. These are midfielders Danois, Bouay-Kiala, and Coulibaly.

⚽️ Goal Prediction

In their last six home matches, the Monegasques have scored at least one goal, and in five of those, they scored two or more goals against their opponents. Auxerre is currently in very poor form and is unlikely to withstand the onslaught of Golovin and company. Therefore, our editorial advises betting on Monaco's Individual Total Goals over 1.5.

🚩 Corner Prediction

Monaco has managed to win by this measure in their last three Ligue 1 matches, averaging 5.6 corners per game. Auxerre is significantly worse in this regard with 6.1 corners conceded at their end. So we suggest betting on Monaco's Individual Total Corners over 5.5.

📝 Match Prediction

Auxerre does not currently look competitive compared to Monaco, so this away match is almost doomed to failure for them. The Monegasques will make maximum efforts to win, which will allow them to stay in the top three and continue fighting with Marseille for second place. We believe that the match will end with a 2:0 victory for Monaco.

In this case, success for the favorite seems like the most obvious outcome, as Auxerre is not currently ready to face such a serious team. The Monegasques are doing well in the championship, and they win at home with enviable regularity. Therefore, our editorial advises betting on Monaco Win with a Handicap (-1).
