Auxerre will host Metz in a Ligue 1 relegation six-pointer this Sunday. Going into this match, Auxerre are rock bottom on nine points, with Metz a place above them, two points better. Let’s have a look at the prediction for this encounter.
While Auxerre haven't won a lot, they are paying the ultimate price for being the poorest in attack. The hosts have only scored eight times in the league.
Surprisingly, with 20 goals conceded, they are doing better defensively compared to all five sides ahead of them. A 1-1 draw with Paris FC last time out saw them hit two games without defeat, but they’ve since fallen five points adrift of safety.
Auxerre meets the weakest side defensively in the league and will surely be expected to make Metz pay. However, Metz’s recent results would suggest they can send shockwaves.
They did just that with three straight wins that hauled them off the bottom of the standings. In that run they beat Nice, Nantes, and Lens, but they couldn’t sustain it, and they come here having lost the last two matches.
The most recent of them was 1-0 to the improved Rennes. This will not be a match they go into with high confidence. Metz have only managed three points on the road, after losing six of seven matches.

Our Auxerre vs Metz Prediction
Though these are some of the lowest-scoring teams in Ligue 1 at the moment, we expect their meetings to produce over 2.5 goals. With both sides looking to give their all for a win, cracks are bound to appear in defence in this relegation six-pointer.
Having conceded a combined 51 goals in their 14 league matches, this could be another high-scoring clash. Apart from the goals market, we will back Auxerre to prevail, given Metz’s away form. Our prediction for Auxerre v Metz is for Auxerre to win and over 2.5 goals.
