Auxerre vs Metz Prediction and Betting Tips | December 7th 2025

Auxerre play host to Metz in a Ligue 1 match at the Stade de l'Abbe-Deschamps this Sunday. This match is a clash of Ligue 1's two bottom sides right now, as Auxerre are propping up the table in 18th and Metz are one spot above them in 17th, with two points separating them.

So, can either of these sides give themselves some hope in the battle to avoid relegation this weekend?

Auxerre vs Metz Head-to-Head and Key Numbers

• While many of their matches have not been under competitive circumstances, Auxerre do have a good record against Metz in recent years. They've beaten them in five of their last six meetings and have not lost at home to them since 2014.
• Auxerre are coming into this game on the back of two straight draws, as they claimed points against Lyon and Paris FC. However, before this, they'd lost four matches in a row. They have not won, in fact, since beating Toulouse in September.
• After a turnaround that saw them win three games in a row between late October and early November, Metz are coming into this one having lost their last two. However, given the current league position of Rennes and the fact that they lost to Brest in last-gasp style, those defeats can almost be excused.
• Despite losing so many games recently, Auxerre have not been getting blown away by their opponents. They've only conceded 20 goals this season, which is fewer than seven other Ligue 1 sides, including Monaco!
• In contrast, Metz have conceded the most goals in Ligue 1 this season with 31. Thankfully for them, they're facing the side with the weakest attack in the league here, as Auxerre have only scored eight goals in their first 14 matches.

Auxerre vs Metz Prediction

Both of these teams have been in relatively poor form this season, explaining their low league positions. However, on the face of it, Metz might be in slightly better shape right now.

Not only have they won three games relatively recently, but their losses to both Brest and Rennes were tight ones, and they at least look capable of scoring.

Auxerre, on the other hand, have looked feeble in front of goal for a while now, and they've only scored once in their last six games.

It's hard to see where their next win will come from, in fact, so the prediction here is a tight away win.

Prediction: Auxerre 0-1 Metz
