Fellow strugglers Auxerre and Troyes are separated by just two points ahead of their crucial Ligue 1 basement battle on Saturday afternoon. Given that Auxerre and Troyes find themselves in the relegation zone with 10 games remaining, both sides will be desperate to pick up a positive result at the Stade Abbe-Deschamps.
Auxerre sit one point inside the bottom four and head into Saturday’s clash on a three-game winless run, with draws against Nice and Rennes preceding a 2-0 defeat at Strasbourg before the international break. When you look at the bigger picture, Christophe Pelissier’s men have managed to win just two of their previous 15 Ligue 1 outings, recording five draws and eight defeats along the way.
It is worth noting, however, that Auxerre have only lost one of their last seven league games, picking up two wins and four draws between early February and mid-March to enhance their chances of beating the drop. Still, there is no hiding the fact that Auxerre hold the fifth-worst home record in Ligue 1, having taken 14 points from a possible 39 at the Stade Abbe-Deschamps this season.
