Auxerre are heading into this match in poor form, having lost three of their last five games and drawn one, with only a single win in that run. Stade Brestois 29 have also struggled recently, losing two, drawing two, and winning one of their last five matches, so neither side is in great shape right now.

When these two teams have met in the past, the games have often been low-scoring and tight, with most recent encounters ending 1-0, 3-0, or 2-0. There was a 2-2 draw a couple of years ago, but overall goals have been rare. Given how both teams are out of form and their recent head-to-heads have been cagey, this looks like a very close and even match that could easily end in a draw.
