Auxerre vs Monaco Prediction 13 September 2025
🔊 Will Monaco secure points against Auxerre? This intriguing matchup is set for Saturday as part of the fourth round of France's Ligue 1. The teams find themselves at opposite ends of the standings, each pursuing different objectives this season. However, the mission for both is clear: win and collect crucial league points. Let's dive into a detailed analysis of this game and make a prediction for the upcoming encounter.
Head-to-Head
📊 These rivals have been crossing paths on the football pitch quite frequently of late, and each time Monaco prove to be the stronger side. The Monégasques have defeated Auxerre in every match since 2012.
Head-to-head statistics Auxerre - Monaco
Auxerre Team Overview
⚪ Auxerre's struggles began in the off-season with a series of disappointing friendly matches leading up to the start of the league. However, they managed to secure a win in their Ligue 1 opener against Lorient (1-0), which temporarily quelled concerns. Yet, as weeks passed, it became evident that alarm bells should have been ringing earlier - Christophe Pélissier's squad still lacks cohesion, particularly in their attacking play.
🔵 In their last two fixtures, Auxerre suffered defeats to Nice (1-3) and Nantes (0-1). Despite facing relatively moderate opponents, the Burgundy side managed to score just one goal across both matches. Notably, against Nantes, who picked up their first points in that game, Auxerre dominated possession and registered four shots on target, yet posed little real threat, reflecting the team's overall lackluster performance on the field.

Monaco Team Overview
⚪ Monaco have yet to secure any points on the road this season. Their upcoming match against Auxerre presents a golden opportunity to change that. It's worth noting that Adi Hütter's squad lost their only away game of the current season to Lille (0-1). Despite creating numerous chances and generating an expected goals (xG) tally of 1.52, Monaco failed to find the back of the net in that encounter.
🔴 Let's also highlight Monaco's triumphs in this campaign, which include victories over Le Havre (3-1) and Strasbourg (3-2). These home fixtures were highly productive and action-packed for the "Monegasques." In each of these matches, Hütter's team dominated, played aggressively in attack, and deservedly came out on top.

Latest news
Auxerre
📄 In the final days of the summer transfer window, Auxerre managed to secure a new forward. Sekou Mara joins on a one-year loan from Strasbourg. This news, especially after seven players departed the team in the last three days of August, was received with great enthusiasm by the club's supporters.
❌ The participation of Moroccan midfielder Oussama El Azzouzi in the upcoming match is in doubt due to a neck injury. He played 19 minutes in the previous fixture against Nantes, coming on as a late substitute.
Monaco
📄 Monaco's coach Adi Hütter spoke at the press conference about the upcoming match: "It's crucial to deliver a strong performance there, especially considering I wasn't satisfied with our last two games. We need to get back to our best level and show that we are fully focused throughout the entire match. Auxerre are an intriguing team, as I saw them in their away game against Nice. They excel in transitioning from one attack to another, particularly with players like Lamine Sinayoko and Josué Casimir, who joined from Le Havre and are incredibly fast. Nonetheless, I am fully confident that we can control the game. Auxerre will undoubtedly be a formidable opponent."
❌ Stanis Idumbo will miss the upcoming match as he is still far from full recovery from a groin injury. Lucas Hradecky is doubtful for the game due to a knee injury sustained in the last round. He has had a week to recover and might be able to support his teammates.
🟨 Referee and Yellow Cards
The referee for the upcoming match is Romain Lissorgue. Over his last 100 games, he averages 3.80 yellow cards per match, with 28 fouls. Auxerre have averaged 2.7 yellow cards in their last 10 matches, while Monaco have averaged 1.4. Given that the referee is known for handing out bookings and both teams tend to play aggressively, a bet on total yellow cards over 4 seems reasonable.
⚽️ Goal Prediction
This season, Monaco have been prolific in front of goal, scoring 6 times in three matches (2 per game). Auxerre's tally is more modest with just 2 goals. However, it's important to note that Auxerre are more attacking at home, giving them a better chance to score. Considering these factors, we suggest betting on total goals over 2.5 in this match.
🚩 Corner Prediction
Looking at corner statistics, the visitors have been more active. In their last 10 matches, Auxerre have averaged 3.9 corners per game compared to Monaco's 5.6. However, it's worth noting that in their last round, both teams combined for 15 corners. Based on this data, a bet on total corners over 9 seems like a solid choice.
Editorial Prediction
Auxerre have yet to find their rhythm this season, with their opening round victory remaining their only highlight so far. Monaco, on the other hand, have been delivering exciting performances in every match, particularly in attack. Even in their loss to Lille, Adi Hütter's side showcased impressive football but conceded right at the end. At present, Monaco appear much stronger than their opponents, and we anticipate a 3-1 victory for them. When making a prediction for this encounter, we suggest considering the option of a win for the visitors.
