Auxerre v Paris FC: survival fight meets mid-table push | OneFootball

Auxerre host Paris FC in Ligue 1 on Sunday, 8 February 2026, at Stade de l'Abbé Deschamps, with the hosts trying to climb out of the relegation places and the visitors aiming to pull further clear of danger.

Auxerre sit 17th on 13 points and drew 1-1 at Paris FC in November. Paris FC are 14th with 21 points and arrive with a little momentum.

Auxerre are winless in five league games, though they did shut out Toulouse in a goalless draw last time out. Paris FC are unbeaten in three league matches after victory at Nantes and draws with Angers and Marseille.

Auxerre are without Francisco Sierralta, Oussama El Azzouzi and Telli Siwe. Paris FC list several absentees, including Nouha Dicko, Hamari Traore, Lees Melou, Sofiane Alakouch, Thibault De Smet, Pierre-Yves Hamel and Samir Chergui, who is out until 15 February. That could stretch their defensive and attacking options.

Paris FC tend to see more of the ball, averaging 54% possession and 86.56% passing accuracy this season, and they have scored 26 league goals with most coming from inside the box. Ilan Kebbal leads their threat with eight league goals and four assists. Auxerre have managed 14 league goals and none from set pieces, so chances may need to come in transition or through Lassine Sinayoko, who has six.

A home win would move Auxerre to 16 points and could drag them closer to the relegation play-off spot. Paris FC would reach 24 points with victory and may climb further into mid-table, widening their cushion from the drop.
