Auxerre vs Reims Head-to-Head and Key Numbers

• The last time Reims traveled to Auxerre, the game ended in a dull 0-0 draw. However, Auxerre have not beaten Reims in any of their meetings dating all the way back to 2016, losing a total of five competitive games in that period.
• After losing four matches in a row at the start of the campaign, Auxerre appeared to have turned things around with a stunning 3-0 win over high-flyers Brest. However, they then fell to strugglers Saint-Etienne before the international break, bringing them down with a bump.
• Reims have been very impressive since their loss to Lille on the opening weekend of the season. They are unbeaten in their last six matches, winning four and drawing two. Those draws came against Marseille and Paris St. Germain, making their run even more exceptional.
• Interestingly, Auxerre are yet to draw a game this season, winning two and losing five of their seven matches. They are one of just three Ligue 1 sides to not draw thus far into 2024-25.
• Despite their high-flying ways, Reims haven't been too strong defensively this season. They have conceded ten goals thus far, the most of Ligue 1's current top six and more than seven other sides in total.

Auxerre vs Reims Prediction

Despite the big gap between these sides in terms of their league place, this one could be closer than it seems. Reims have, after all, not been the strongest side defensively and have arguably performed above and beyond expectations.

However, Auxerre are not in the best form right now, and their last game against Saint-Etienne was a poor performance overall.

We expect a relatively tight, low-scoring game here, with Reims coming out as the narrow victors.

Prediction: Auxerre 1-2 Reims
