It is an enticing poster between two promoted who know each other by heart. Two strong places in French football, whose duels have offered a particular dramaturgy in recent years. L'AJ Auxerre and theAS Saint-Etienne meet this Friday evening at Father-Deschamps for an important and undecided meeting. AJA has made its lair an almost impregnable fortress this season, since it has not lost it since mid-September, while defeating teams from Paris Saint-Germain, Lens or Lille.
But the formation of Christophe Pélissier is also in search of a first success to definitively launch his year 2025. He went back to November 24 to find a trace of a victory of the Ajaists, against Angers (1-0). The challenge will therefore be real against these greens capable of everything. After three games under the supervision of the Norwegian Eirik Horneland, AS Saint-Etienne offers encouraging content. This promoted duel should therefore offer a nice show, for the fourth Auxerrois game in their stadium on Friday evening.
The expected compos
Auxerre : Léon – Hoever, Diomandé, Jubal, Akpa, Mensah – Perrin, Owusu, Massengo, Traoré – Sinayoko.
St Etienne : Larsonneur – Appiah, Batubinsika, Nadé, Petot – Fomba, Ekwah, Amougou – Boakye, Stassin, Davitashvili.
Where to see the match?
This match between AJ Auxerre and AS Saint-Etienne counting for the 19th day of Ligue 1 will be broadcast this Friday on Dazn, from 8:45 p.m.
