AJ Auxerre vs Marseille Prediction, lineups, betting tips & odds

The home team are without a win in ten games.

AJ Auxerre are struggling at the moment. The team is without a win in ten straight league games. To make matters worse they are now set to face free-scoring Marseille who have impressed everyone with their performances. This clash is going to take place at Stade de L’Abbé Deschamps in round 33 of Ligue 1 action.  

AJ Auxerre are going through a poor run of form at the moment. They are without a win in their last ten matches which has seen them drop to 12th in the standings. However, they can take plenty of positives from the last two games as they secured consecutive 2-2 draws against Brest and Toulouse.

Marseille on the other hand have looked impressive in recent matches. Roberto De Zerbi’s side secured thumping wins over Lyon, Angers, and Saint-Etienne. Currently languishing at second spot, ten points behind leaders PSG, they will be happy with how their season is going now. In the last match, they hammered Saint-Etienne by 5-1 with a brace from Amine Gouiri.

Players to Watch

Hamed Traoré (⁠AJ Auxerre)

Hamed Traore has been an excellent addition to the team after arriving from a season-long loan deal from Napoli. Hamed is known for versatility but favours mostly in the left wing where he can cause havoc with his speed and dribbling skills. This season, he has netted nine goals so far with two of the goals coming in the last four matches.

Mason Greenwood (Marseille)

Mason Greenwood has been in magnificent form this season. The summer recruit has been tearing the Ligue 1 with his breathtaking performances having already scored 14 goals from 22 matches. He also registered three assists at the same time with the forward brimming with confidence at the moment with three goals in his last five matches.
