My Prediction
Auxerre by 2Ah, the plot thickens! This Ligue 1 matchup, pitting Auxerre against Montpellier, promises plenty of edge-of-your-seat thrill, or at least an excuse to avoid mowing the lawn.
In between the two posts, we've got Benjamin Lecomte for Montpellier, showing a respectable 7.65 rating and 10 saves. On the other side, we've got Donovan Léon for Auxerre clocking in with a 7.23 rating and 11 saves. I'd say it's anyone's save.
Taking a close look at Montpellier's big guns, Teji Savanier stands out with a 7.65 rating. Then there's Enzo Tchato Mbiayi and Tanguy Coulibaly, offering solid support at 7.20 and 7.10 ratings respectively. It's like a power trio without the power chords or the trio.
Over at the Auxerre camp, Jubal leads the charge with a 7.43 rating, closely followed by Sinaly Diomandé at 7.40 and Gaëtan Perrin at 7.13. Perrin is getting some shots off with two to his name, but goals scored still reads like a donut shop order: zeroes across the board.
Looking back in time at past meetings, Montpellier's come out on top twice against Auxerre. Well, history ain't Sunday's horoscope, folks, unless of course, it rhymes.
Peeping into the cloak of regular season records, the chilly stats for Montpellier reveal a woeful 4 wins, 3 draws, and double-digits losses. Ouch. Auxerre step in with the swag of an 8-win, 8-draw, 10-loss season. Still mediocre, but hey, I've seen worse.
Finally, and this is where the rubber meets the road, recent results for Montpellier look more depressing than my last school reunion. A truckload of losses right there. Auxerre, on the other hand, went toe-to-toe with Nice while running a victory lap against Stade de Reims and Olympique de Marseille.
And with all this info floating around, who's gonna score the bragging rights, you ask? Sit tight, it's all about to go down.
