On Tuesday night, Auxerre and Paris FC go head-to-head in a game that could be crucial in the race for promotion from the Ligue 2.
Auxerre are currently in the last play-off position in the French second tier, five points adrift of the two automatic promotion positions. However, Jean Furlan’s team also have a game in hand on the league’s top-two.

A win in this clash could well be crucial in the fight for those automatic promotion spots.
Auxerre have been highly inconsistent of late in the French second tier, having recorded just two wins in their last six matches in Ligue 2. However, they have kept clean sheets in three of their last four league games.
Furlan’s team have been slightly inconsistent on home soil in the French second tier. However, a 3-2 defeat against Le Havre last time out on home soil ended a six-game unbeaten home run in Ligue 2.
Paris FC are just a point clear of their fifth-place hosts, four points adrift of the automatic promotion spots, also with a game in hand on the two teams currently in the league’s top two.
The club from the French capital has boosted their promotion hopes by mounting a nine-game unbeaten league run, having recorded six wins and three draws. The visitors have drawn their last two league outings against Le Havre and Dunkerque, though.
The visitors recent league matches have been relatively low-scoring, with under 2.5 goals scored in six of their last eight matches in Ligue 2.
Paris FC are unbeaten in their last four away games in Ligue 2, having recorded three wins and a draw. Their recent away matches have been low-scoring, with under 2.5 goals scored in four of their last five league games on their travels.
There is not much between these two teams, so it is maybe unsurprising that Forebet predicts that this clash will finish in a low-scoring draw.
