The action continues in round 11 of the French Ligue 1 as Auxerre and Olympique Marseille square off at the Stade de l'Abbe-Deschamps on Saturday. Christophe Pelissier’s men have won the last two meetings between the two teams, including a surprise 3-0 victory in their most recent encounter back in February.
Auxerre continue to struggle for results in the new Ligue 1 campaign as they fell to a 3-0 loss against Strasbourg at the Stade de la Meinau on Wednesday.
Pelissier’s side have now failed to taste victory in five consecutive matches, losing four and claiming one draw since scraping a 1-0 win over Toulouse on September 21.
Auxerre have picked up just seven points from the first 30 available this season to sit 17th in the table, just two points above rock-bottom Metz.
Meanwhile, Olympique Marseille failed to find their feet in midweek as they were held to a 2-2 draw by Angers after conceding a 96th-minute equalizer at the Orange Velodrome.
Before that, Roberto De Zerbi’s men saw their five-game winning streak come to an end on October 22, when they fell to a 2-1 loss against Sporting Lisbon in the UEFA Champions League, three days before losing 2-1 against Lens in the league.
Despite their recent slump in form, Marseille could move top of the Ligue 1 table this weekend, as they currently occupy third place with 19 points from 10 games, two points behind league leaders Paris Saint-Germain.
