Auxerre vs Monaco

Monaco have won each of their last five matches in all competitions against Auxerre, their longest such run against AJA.

Monaco have won 10 of their last 12 Ligue 1 matches (D1 L1), as many as in their previous 22 (D6 L6).

Monaco is unbeaten in their first four matches of a Ligue 1 season (W3 D1) for the second year in a row, something they previously failed to do since 2017-18 (W4). ASM conceded just one goal in their inaugural four matches in L1, equalling their best tally at this stage dating back to the 1960-61 season, when they won their first championship.

Auxerre have lost each of their last two games against Monaco in Ligue 1 but have only once had a longer losing streak against them in the top-flight: four between November 1998 and March 2000.

Monaco have lost only one of their last 18 Ligue 1 games played against promoted sides (W13 D4), a 2-1 home defeat against Toulouse in June 2023.

Auxerre have lost their last two games, at Nantes (0-2) and Le Havre (1-3) in Ligue 1, and could equal their longest losing streak under Christophe Pélissier in all competitions, also losing three in a row in a run ending January 2023.

After a 1-1 draw with Lens before the break, Monaco have not played two Ligue 1 games in a row without a win since last January and February (3 in a row).

Both teams have scored in each of Auxerre's last six home games in Ligue 1 (8 goals for, nine against). AJA last had a longer run in 1999/00 (7) under Guy Roux, where they won these seven games.
