The 14th day of Ligue 1 will pit AJA against PSG on Friday (9:00 p.m.) at the Abbé Deschamps stadium. Discover the probable line-ups, the injured and our three predictions around this match.
Solid and surprising eighth in Ligue 1, AJ Auxerre is off to a good start to the season. Second best team in the French Championship at home behind PSG (15 points out of 18), AJA was beaten last weekend by Toulouse (2-0), ending the series of five matches without defeat, including four victories, for Christophe Pelissier’s men. At the beginning of November, Auxerre notably brought down OM at the Vélodrome (1-3).
Opposite, Paris has just gone through the worst week of its season. A defeat against Bayern Munich in the Champions League last Tuesday (1-0) followed by a not much more exciting draw against FC Nantes at the Parc des Princes (1-1). Two matches which ignited the powder in the locker room, according to some recent rumors, and a Luis Enrique who would divide internally.
Information on the AJA and its wounded
Coulibaly and N'Gatta are both unavailable for Auxerre.
Starting XI : Léon – Akpa, Jubal, Osho (or Diomandé) – Hoever, Dane, Owusu, Mensah – Perrin, Sinayoko, Traoré.
Information on PSG and its injured
Lucas Hernandez, Presnel Kimpembe and Senny Mayulu should miss this meeting in Auxerre.
Starting XI : Donnarumma – Hakimi, Marquinhos, Pacho, Mendes – Zaïre-Emery, Vitinha, Neves – Dembélé, Ramos, Barcola.
It's been alternating a lot in the PSG cages in recent weeks. Donnarumma started against Nantes last weekend, and should continue on Friday at Auxerre.
AJA is the 2nd best team in Ligue 1 at home, still undefeated. Even against the reigning champion, the Auxerres should be enterprising and find the net!
PSG has not won for two games, but the bad streak should end at Abbé Deschamps. We are banking on a victory for the Parisians.
AJ Auxerre 1 – 2 PSG
