Brest vs Auxerre Prediction and Betting Tips | January 4th 2026

Brest face off with Auxerre in a Ligue 1 match at the Stade Francis-Le-Ble this Sunday.

Both of these teams are currently in Ligue 1's bottom half, with Brest in 11th and Auxerre far lower in 16th. A win for the away side, though, could propel them out of the danger zone.

So who will come out on top in this one?

Brest vs Auxerre Head-to-Head and Key Numbers

• Brest have the slightly superior head-to-head record in this game in recent years, as they've won three of their last six meetings with Auxerre. However, it is worth noting that they haven't beaten Auxerre since May 2023.
• Both of these sides suffered a defeat in the Coupe de France in their last game. However, it's fair to say that Brest's defeat was probably worse. Auxerre were eliminated by high-end Ligue 1 side Monaco, while Brest lost a penalty shootout against fourth-tier side US Avranches.
• Brest's last league game was also a loss, as they were well beaten by Rennes, snapping a three-match winning streak. At home, though, they've only lost one of their last six matches.
• Auxerre also saw a three-match unbeaten run snapped in their last league game, as they fell to a last-gasp defeat at the hands of Lille after they appeared to have secured an unlikely 3-3 draw. Remarkably, six of Auxerre's 14 goals this season have been scored in their last two matches.
• Auxerre forward Lassine Sinayoko has been involved in four goals in his last three Ligue 1 matches. Unfortunately, his club will be without him for this game, as he is currently away at AFCON with Mali, leaving questions as to where Auxerre's goals might come from.

Brest vs Auxerre Prediction

In terms of form, this game is pretty even, particularly when you consider Brest's upset defeat in the Coupe de France to lower-tier opponents.

However, Brest have been pretty reliable at home this season, while Auxerre have the worst away record in Ligue 1 and have not yet won on the road.

Add in the fact that Auxerre will be without top scorer Lassine Sinayoko and it feels like a home win is the outcome here.

Prediction: Brest 1-0 Auxerre
