After three games without a win, including two defeats, OM must get back on track to stay at the heights of Ligue 1. This is a good thing, they are traveling to Auxerre, who have not won in a month and remain in 5 matches without success.
Defeated in Lens (1-2) before being held in check by Angers (2-2), the Olympians missed two opportunities to take the lead in the standings alone. They did not in fact take advantage of PSG’s decline in the Championship, which may not last forever.
This trip to Abbé-Deschamps could therefore be a tipping point in the season, especially if PSG further widens the gap, receiving Nice a few hours earlier (5 p.m.).
OM also has very bad memories of Burgundy, while the Phocaeans were swept away last season. They first took a slap in the face at the Vélodrome by losing 1-3 after returning at the break with a score of 0-3. Then were again surprised by the Auxerrois on the return, easy winners 3-0.
But the situation has changed since then. OM seem more solid and Auxerre cannot do it this year. The Icaunais have the worst attack in Ligue 1 with 7 goals in 10 days and have been in the red zone since Wednesday, in 17th position. Two diametrically opposed objectives therefore, but which force both teams to win to restart the machine.
The Auxerre – OM meeting will be broadcast on Ligue 1 + this Saturday, November 1st. Kickoff is scheduled for 9:05 p.m.
