AJ Auxerre vs AS Monaco Preview, prediction, lineups, betting tips & odds | Ligue 1 2025-26

Les Rouge et Blanc came out on top as the better team when these sides last met.

AJ Auxerre are ready to battle it out against AS Monaco in what is going to be the matchweek 4 fixture of the Ligue 1 2025-26 season. Stade de l’Abbé-Deschamps is all set to witness this interesting clash.

The hosts will be under pressure as they fell prey to Nantes in their last league fixture. It was an underwhelming effort by AJ Auxerre.

Despite being at home, they will be low on confidence for their next Ligue 1 game. Les Diplomates will be looking to come up with a different strategy this time around.

Les Rouge et Blanc are coming in after securing a win against Strasbourg. It was a close fixture, where AS Monaco scored a crucial late goal, which helped them secure three important points. They now have two wins in their pocket after being a part of three league games in the new season.

Players to Watch

Lassine Sinayoko (AJ Auxerre)

The 25-year-old has scored two goals in three Ligue 1 appearances for AJ Auxerre this season. Lassine Sinayoko looks in decent touch and can create problems for the opponent’s defence in the upcoming game. He will have to step up this time.

Folarin Balogun (AS Monaco)

Folarin Balogun will have an important role to play in the attacking front for Les Rouge et Blanc. He scored one of the crucial goals in Monaco’s 3-2 win against Strasbourg. Balogun will be yet again ready to help his side in the final third by scoring a goal or two.
