Marseille vs Auxerre: WhoScored Preview, Expected Lineups and Score Prediction

Match preview

Marseille will be aiming to book their place in the next round of the Coupe de France when they host Auxerre at the Stade Velodrome on Wednesday evening. The hosts head into the game on the back of a 3-1 victory over Lorient in Ligue 1 on Saturday, while Auxerre suffered a 2-1 defeat to Toulouse in the league on the same day. Marseille will be confident of victory against Auxerre, who find themselves in the relegation zone in Ligue 1, but the visitors will be looking to cause an upset and reach the sixth round of the Coupe de France.

Marseille have a strong record in the Coupe de France, having won the competition 10 times, most recently in 1989. They will be keen to add to their tally this season, and will be confident of doing so against an Auxerre side who have never won the competition.

Auxerre will be looking to cause an upset in Marseille, but they will need to be at their best to do so. The visitors have lost their last two games in Ligue 1, and will need to improve their form if they are to stand a chance of progressing in the Coupe de France.
