Auxerre host Brest as both sides seek consistency
Auxerre take on Stade Brestois 29 at the Stade de l'Abbé-Deschamps on matchday five of Ligue 1, a fixture that has produced varied results in recent seasons but has tilted more often towards the hosts.
Form and recent meetings
Auxerre arrive on the back of a mixed run of results, WLLLW, having won two and lost three of their last five, though their most recent outing ended in victory. Brest have managed only one win in their last five, with two draws and two defeats also on the board, giving Auxerre a slight edge in recent form.
The two clubs have met five times since 2023, with Auxerre winning three of those encounters, Brest winning twice, and one match ending level. Auxerre's most recent home meeting with Brest, in March, ended in a 3-0 win, while Brest claimed victory when the sides met in January.
What is at stake
With both sides looking to build momentum this season, this Ligue 1 fixture offers Auxerre the chance to build on their home record against Brest, while Brest will be aiming to arrest a run that has yielded just one win in their last five matches.
