Auxerre — Marseille : Match Preview and Prediction for November 01,2025

Auxerre’s Current Form

Auxerre is struggling, rooted at the bottom of the league table. Their situation appears rather dire, with five matches without a win (one draw and four losses), and no goals scored in that period. While the crucial 15th spot is just two points away, it’s hard to see how they can accumulate those points with their current performance. The Burgundians desperately need to improve their attacking play to stand any chance; they currently have the weakest offense in the French championship.

Marseille’s Recent Performance

Marseille also finds itself in a challenging period. Not long ago, the team was on an impressive five-match winning streak, but recent results have taken a sharp turn for the worse. This began with a Champions League defeat to Sporting (1:2), followed by unexpected setbacks in : a loss to Lens (1:2) and a draw with Angers (2:2). Despite these dropped points, Marseille remains in the top three, but without these recent slip-ups, they could have established a significant lead. It’s time for them to regain their composure.

Match Outlook

Last season, Auxerre surprisingly won both head-to-head encounters against Marseille – a true sensation. Marseille certainly remembers this and will be determined not to lose to one of the league’s struggling teams again. As Marseille navigates a dip in form, an opponent like Auxerre offers the perfect opportunity to rebuild confidence. We predict that the visitors, despite their recent difficulties, will secure a victory.

Marseille’s Recent Stumbles

On Thursday, Marseille squandered a clear opportunity to top the table, drawing 2-2 with Angers at the Vélodrome. Now, they must travel to face Auxerre at the Stade de l’Abbé Deschamps.

Auxerre’s Woes

Auxerre, to put it mildly, is far from impressive. Their five-match winless streak has dragged them into the relegation zone. During this period, they managed to salvage only one point against Rennes (2-2), and that was thanks to a penalty goal. Christophe Pélissier’s team even lost at home to Le Havre (0-1), a side they should ideally be above. Furthermore, they have scored the fewest goals in the league, with just seven.

Marseille’s Away Form

Marseille remains two points behind league leaders PSG, and could have surpassed them on goal difference. It seemed Roberto De Zerbi’s side was invincible at the Vélodrome, with four wins from four matches, but Angers’ 96th-minute equalizer (2-2) broke that spell. Away from home, “Les Olympiens” have won only two of their seven matches this season, losing the rest.

Tactical Considerations

As a precautionary measure, I will bet on Auxerre with a positive handicap, given Marseille’s considerable inconsistency. It’s also possible that De Zerbi might rotate his squad ahead of the fourth Champions League matchday, which could influence the final score.
