Match preview
Auxerre welcome Stade Brestois 29 to Stade de l'Abbe-Deschamps looking to arrest a difficult run of form. The hosts sit 15th in Ligue 1 with three points from their opening four matches, having suffered three consecutive league defeats against Lens, Angers, and Lyon. Defensive vulnerabilities have been a major concern for Auxerre, who have conceded 11 goals across their four league fixtures.
Stade Brestois 29 enter the match in seventh place with five points from four games. While they suffered a narrow 1-0 defeat to Paris Saint-Germain in their most recent outing, Brest remain unbeaten on their travels in the league this season with a 2-1 win at Le Havre and a 2-2 draw at Le Mans. Attacking midfielder K. Doumbia has been in sharp form, contributing four goals and one assist.
Both sides carry multiple injury concerns into this clash, with Auxerre missing five players including S. Fofana and B. Okoh, while Brest are without key defender B. Chardonnet and four others.
