⚽ Ligue 1 - Round 6 Preview

📅 27 Sep 2024

⏰ 18:00 GMT +1

🏟 Stade de l'Abbé-Deschamps (Auxerre)

Auxerre manager Christophe Pélissier expressed frustration after his team's defensive mistakes made it "impossible" to win matches. Their 3-2 loss to Montpellier marked the third consecutive game in which they’ve conceded three goals. Auxerre's return to Ligue 1 has been rough, with four straight defeats following an opening day victory over Nice. With just three points after five matches, their current start is the joint-lowest in 21st-century history for the club. Auxerre has also struggled defensively, failing to keep a clean sheet in their last 13 Ligue 1 games, dating back to April 2023.

Brest, on the other hand, seems to be finding their form again after qualifying for the UEFA Champions League for the first time last season. They come into this match following back-to-back victories, first in Europe against Sturm Graz and then a 2-0 Ligue 1 win over Toulouse despite heavy squad rotation. Brest has struggled on the road, losing both of their away matches so far, but they have a solid record at Auxerre, losing just one of their last seven visits (W3, D3).
