Auxerre have been struggling recently, losing three of their last five matches and drawing the other. Their form is poor, and they have been conceding a lot of goals. Marseille have also been inconsistent, with two losses, one draw, and two wins in their last five games, but they have shown they can grind out a result.

In their recent meetings, the games have often been close and low-scoring. Three of the last four matches between these sides finished with just one goal, and two of them ended 1-0. Given Auxerre's poor run and Marseille's slightly better record in recent head-to-head games, Marseille should have the edge here and are likely to win a tight, low-scoring contest.
