Auxerre preview: Struggling Auxerre
Auxerre come into this weekend beginning the match day sitting third from bottom and in the end of season promotion/relegation playoff places with just 19 points collected from their 26 matches so far this season.
The home team most recently suffered a slender 1-0 loss to Olympique de Marseille at Stade Velodrome last weekend, extending their winless run of form to four matches in Ligue 1.
Brest preview: Mid-table Brest
Under the management of former Sunderland player Eric Roy, Stade Brest head into this one on the back of a frustrating 2-0 defeat to an in-form Monaco side at Stade Louis II in the principality last weekend.
Prior to that loss against the Monegasque, Brest had been enjoying an impressive six-match unbeaten run of form as they try and push into the top-half of the table and in the hunt for European football.

Auxerre vs Brest prediction
Brest are occasionally a fun watch but they remain one of the lower scoring teams in Ligue 1 with the visitors' 26 matches having consisted of fewer than 2.5 goals per game. Auxerre are the only team yet to hit 20 goals in the French top-flight this season, too, and so a low-scoring encounter does appear almost inevitable for this one this weekend.
Auxerre vs Brest tip: Under 2.5 goals
