Team Previews, Form, and Standout Players

Whilst Brest have endured a good start to the season, with two wins giving them a solid foundation to build upon, there’s always room to improve and they still reside in the bottom half of the Ligue 1 table.

Auxerre have looked pretty poor so far this season, losing four on the bounce as they slide back toward relegation.

AJ Auxerre Preview

Predicted Lineup - Leon; Hoever, Diomande, Raveloson, Osho, Akpa; Traore, Owusu, Danois, Sinayoko; Aye

Auxerre have been pretty poor so far this campaign, they’ve got three points on the board from the opening day, and are yet to get through another game without a loss.

They disappointingly lost to Le Havre and Montpellier, two teams you’d expect they’d be battling with to avoid relegation. This could really come back to bite them.

It’s hard to pick a stand-out player for the host, since they could be without six of their key players for this fixture.

Brest Preview

Predicted Lineup - Bizot; Zogbe, Cardinal, Ndiaye, Haidara; Lage, Magnetti, Martin; Doumbia; Salah, Ajorque

Brest have endured a mixed start to the season. Despite two convincing victories over ASSE and Toulouse, as well as a 100% record so far in the Champions League, however they’ve shown some inconsistencies.

A 2-0 loss to 10-man Lens, a game Brest should capitalise on, sums up their random bouts of poor performances.

Ajorque’s goals and Ndiaye’s presence will be key in this fixture.

Betting Tips For AJ Auxerre vs Brest

Whilst Brest still have work to do to recapture their form last season, it’s clear to see they’re building a foundation to work with, while competing with the new demands of the Champions League. They’re never going to win the UCL, but we have got a great prediction of who will win the coveted competition.

Regardless, they’ve shown more promising signs than a very poor Auxerre team, who look in danger of relegation. Brest should find this game easy.
