This setup strongly supports the Both Teams to Score & Over 2.5 Goals outcome.
Paris Saint-Germain vs Auxerre – Already Champion PSG meets Auxerre – Game Preview, Key Stats, Betting Predictions.
PSG’s Attacking Depth & Defensive Lapses:
Fresh from a 4-1 dismantling of Montpellier, PSG proved their depth even when resting key starters ahead of upcoming cup finals. Gonçalo Ramos’ second-half hat-trick and Senny Mayulu’s opener were enough to blow past the league’s bottom club.
With Luis Enrique likely reverting to a near full-strength lineup, the likes of Dembele, Kvaratskhelia, and Neves return to bolster a team that has already scored 78 league goals this season. However, PSG’s defense has been far from watertight. They’ve kept just one clean sheet in their last 10 home league matches, conceding even in dominant wins.
Their high-risk, high-possession style often leaves them exposed in transition, making them vulnerable even against modest opposition. The hosts will still look to win but may have to outscore, rather than shut out, their visitors.

Auxerre’s Away Scoring Record & Recent Form:
While Auxerre arrive without pressure, their record suggests they’ll pose a threat in Paris. Christophe Pelissier’s men have scored in each of their last nine Ligue 1 matches and rank joint-seventh for away goals this season — an impressive feat for a newly promoted side. They have taken 10 points from their last five away games, including a remarkable 4-0 win at Lens.
Gaëtan Perrin has been pivotal, contributing double digits in both goals and assists this season. Notably, 9 of his 10 league goals have come before half-time, indicating Auxerre often strike early — which aligns with PSG’s tendency to concede later in the first half.
