Auxerre vs Montpellier Prediction & Betting Tips (30 March)

There are 8 days left to compete and Auxerre should stay hands down. It was the major objective of AJA this season after acting in the elite last spring. Before the international break, the Auxerrois won at Reims 0-2 and held Nice in failure 1-1. They have lost only one of their last 6 league outings and ranked 11th with a substantial advance of 11 points on the virtual barragist. Back to the wall, the Montpellier red lantern will be in Ligue 2 next season if it continues to chain the defeats. The MHSC remains on 6 setbacks, the last 3 without scoring, and was led to the score by Saint-Etienne 0-2 before the interruption of the meeting for incidents in its stands.

The outcome of the meeting will be announced next week by the LFP. The team led by Jean-Louis Gasset presents the worst defense of Ligue 1 with 59 goals conceded. It accuses a delay of 6 points on the virtual barragist and 9 units on the first unrelegable club. A very important gap for a team that only signed 4 wins in Ligue 1. 

Like every weekend, Auxerre unfolds without the attacker Coulibaly (1 goal) who hopes to return to the field before the end of the exercise. In addition, the Traoré offensive asset, author of 10 championship achievements, had two weeks to recover from a physical glitch. He is in doubt. At the back, Akpa returns to suspension and could play the first roles again in the hinge. Midfielder Massango returned to the club this winter. Used as a holder by Christophe Pélissier for his first meetings, he was replaced on the bench during the last outings.

 The situation of Montpellier is critical and its many packages, more particularly in defense, do not help him to restore his coat of arms. While the left side Sylla made his return and the central Omeragic should come back in turn next weekend or the next, Jullien has not yet played because of an injury and Maksimovic, still in the hinge, is unavailable until the end of the season. Absent before the truce, the right back chato (holder) is uncertain. The rough kouyaté and the important side Sainte-Luce are suspended and must also stay on the side. In the offensive sector, Delort has not scored since he returned to the club this winter.
