AJ Auxerre vs AS Saint-Étienne Prediction 26 May 2022

Auxerre and Saint-Etienne will meet in a transitional match for the right to play in Ligue 1.

Auxerre delivered a strong ending to the season with six wins and two draws in their last eight Ligue 2 meetings. At this pace, the Diplomats jumped into third place with 74 points and a goal difference of 61:39. And in the first round of the playoffs, they broke the resistance of Sochaux with a score of 1:0.

The 1:1 draw with Nantes allowed Saint-Etienne to break one point away from the relegation zone and gave a chance to save the failed league season. But it seemed that after four fiascos in a row from Monaco (1:4), Rennes (0:2), Nice (2:4) and Reims (1:2), nothing good is ahead for the Greens.

Surprisingly, five previous duels between these teams ended in a draw. And now, given the approximate equality of Auxerre and Saint-Etienne, we’re waiting for something similar. With a slight advantage on the part of the hosts who are in better shape.
