Auxerre will welcome Monaco to the Stade de l'Abbé-Deschamps in the Ligue 1 on Wednesday as they resume their league campaign after six weeks.
The hosts are winless in their last two league games and have picked up just one win in their previous 11 league games. They were hammered 5-0 by league leaders Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) in their previous outing, which was their second defeat in four games.
Monaco also suffered their second defeat in four games last time around as they fell to a 3-2 loss against Marseille at home. Wissam Ben Yedder and Kevin Volland were on the scoresheet but Sead Kolasinac scored the winning goal in the eighth minute of injury time to help Marseille to a last-gasp win.

Auxerre vs Monaco Prediction
Auxerre have struggled in their return to the top flight and have just three wins to their name thus far, though all three wins have come at home. They are undefeated in their last three home games and might be able to put up a fight in this game.
The Monégasques have scored at least two goals in their last four league outings and are expected to find the back of the net in this match. While the two teams are meeting for the first time in nine years, of the two teams, Monaco have been in better form and should be able to secure a narrow win.
