Auxerre vs Brest Prediction & Betting Tips (27 September)

Be careful not to take the elevator again on the Auxerre side. After having made 2 climbs and a descent over the last 3 seasons, the AJA is not off to a very good start in its quest to stay in the alite by only taking 3 points during the first 5 days. Everything started well for Christophe Pélissier's men who began with a snatched victory against Nice 2-1. But since then, the Burgundians have just suffered 4 consecutive defeats against Nantes 2-0, Le Havre 3-1, Monaco 0-3 and finally Montpellier 3-2 in what was already a match of fear. Following this, they fell to 16th position in the ranking.

Stade Brestois, for its part, is coming out of an exceptional season ending in 3rd place in the ranking which allows it to compete, for the first time in its history, in the League Champions this year. The Breton club did not miss its debut with the most beautiful European competition by winning last week against Sturm Graz 2-1, a few days after having had to lose in the championship at the Parc des Princes. This European success undoubtedly allowed Eric Roy's men to free themselves since they quite easily won their match against Toulouse last Sunday 2-0. With 6 points on the clock, the Ti-Zefs are in 11th position in the ranking.

Several elements must still give up being part of the group on the Auxerre side. Indeed, the important Mensah and Coulibaly are still on the floor currently. A hard blow also for this team which saw its senior defender and captain Jubal join the infirmary last weekend. Furthermore, the former executive Agouzoul and the young N'Gatta and Buayi-Kiala do not fit into the plans of Christophe Pélissier who does not count on them. During the defeat suffered in Montpellier, the Ivorian Traoré and the Japanese Onaiwu were still able to unlock their respective counters.

On the Brest side, the left side Bradley Locko, affected by a ruptured tendon of Achille at the very start of the season, will not be traveling to Abbé-Deschamps. On the other hand, the essential midfielder Pierre-Lees Melou, which is still in the recovery phase, could return to the group this week after being too close to TFC. During this game, summer recruit Mama Baldé scored her first in her new colors before Romain Faivre came to seal Brest's victory during added time. Preserved at kick-off last Sunday, midfielder Camara and striker Ajorque could start this time.
