PSG vs Auxerre Prediction, 02:00 May 18: Playing at home

Auxerre surprisingly held PSG to a draw in the first leg of Ligue 1 2024/2025.

Pre-match comments PSG vs Auxerre

The match against Auxerre no longer means much in terms of points for PSG, as they have been crowned champions 6 rounds early. However, for coach Luis Enrique, this is a valuable opportunity to review the squad and ensure that the pillars are in the best condition before the two finals of the French Cup and Champions League. After a period of slight loss of steam due to being crowned champions too early, PSG are expected to play seriously in the final match of Ligue 1 this season.

On the other side of the front line, Auxerre have made a commendable return to Ligue 1. This team does not possess big stars, but has impressed with its team spirit and stability against opponents of equal level. However, when having to play away against PSG, who are completely superior, all of Auxerre's limitations will be exposed. They have only won 4/16 away matches this season and often have difficulty defending against teams that play well in possession.

A match that no longer has a decisive meaning in terms of ranking, but will act as the final tactical draft for PSG. This is an opportunity for coach Luis Enrique to test tactics and formation to prepare for the two important finals of the 2024/2025 season. If the Spanish strategist uses the strongest squad and plays with great enthusiasm, PSG will likely easily crush Auxerre.
