Auxerre take on the visitors PSG in the round 14 match of French Ligue 1. The match will be played on Friday, November 6th at Stade de l'Abbé-Deschamps (Auxerre).
Auxerre made a quick return to Ligue 1 this season, bouncing back after just one year in Ligue 2. However, this time, the White-Blues seem determined to break free from their previous reputation as a "yo-yo" team. Their start to the season was challenging, marked by several losses, but Christophe Pélissier's squad has gradually found its rhythm. Before a 2-0 defeat to Toulouse in their last outing, Auxerre enjoyed a five-match unbeaten streak in the league (four wins and one draw). Playing with an aggressive high-pressing 3-4-2-1 formation, the newly promoted side is just one point away from a European qualification spot. Notable recent victories include a 3-1 triumph over Marseille at the Vélodrome, a gritty 1-0 home win against Angers, and a commanding 4-0 demolition of Rennes at the Abbé-Deschamps Stadium. The upcoming clash against PSG represents a critical test of Auxerre's ambition and resilience. Squad-wise, Auxerre is in good shape.

Paris Saint-Germain stumbled in their most recent league outing, drawing 1-1 at home against Nantes despite dominating the xG statistics (2.56 to 0.65 in PSG’s favor). Rumors of discord within Luis Enrique’s camp have begun to circulate. Reports suggest the Spanish manager has lost the trust and respect of his players due to his aloof communication style. Furthermore, his adherence to a possession-heavy "tiki-taka" approach has not won over the entire squad. A fresh conflict with Ousmane Dembélé adds another layer of tension. Both Dembélé and Enrique are reportedly unwilling to back down, and the fallout could leave the winger out of the starting lineup—a significant blow, as Dembélé is a crucial part of PSG's offensive setup. Adding to the internal struggles, Sporting Director Luís Campos has openly expressed frustration with Enrique's management style.
Auxerre’s solid home form—five wins and just one loss in Ligue 1 this season—makes them a formidable opponent at the Abbé-Deschamps. Coupled with PSG’s recent struggles, both on and off the pitch, the Burgundians have a genuine chance to spring an upset or at least secure a result. PSG’s inability to fully integrate Luis Enrique’s tactics, alongside the discontent within the squad, points to a lack of cohesion that Auxerre can exploit. Moreover, Auxerre’s dynamic pressing style could unsettle PSG’s possession game, especially with Dembélé potentially out of the lineup.
Prediction for the match: Auxerre not to lose (1X).
