A Sports Betting Pick by ArmchairPunter
Football : France: Ligue 1
Venue: Stade Louis II
Sunday 19th April 2026, 1400hrs (GMT)
Monaco’s impressive seven-game winning streak in the French top flight was abruptly sent crashing around their ears last Friday night when Sébastien Pocognoli’s side were handed a comprehensive 4-1 thumping away from home at Paris FC but nevertheless, the hosts will still feel confident about their chances of returning to winning ways on Sunday afternoon.
Four of Monaco’s recent seven wins in Ligue 1 were achieved on home soil at their Stade Louis II following victories over the likes of Nantes, Angers, Brest and Marseille respectively, and another three-point haul on Sunday afternoon may lift the hosts up into contention for a European spot.
Monaco possess a steady and consistent looking home record of 10-1-4 31/20 so far this season and with Auxerre currently sitting third from bottom, Sébastien Pocognoli’s side will be keen to cash in on Sunday.
Onto Auxerre and the visitors currently occupy the relegation play-off spot towards the bottom of the Ligue 1 table having managed to capture just one win in their previous seven league matches overall.
That rare highlight came in the form of a 3-0 home win against 11th placed Brest at their Stade de l’Abbé-Deschamps but points picked up in four draws have been overshadowed by slipping to recent defeats at the hands of Rennes and Marseille.
The bigger picture does not paint a pretty picture for the visitors either as Christophe Pélissier’s side have registered just two victories within their last 14 matches in Ligue 1 while also possessing a poor looking away record which currently stands at 1-5-8 10/22 which includes winning just one of their last seven outings on the road.
The Betting Verdict
Monaco have won the last eight meetings on the trot in all competitions against Auxerre.
The Pick :
Monaco 2-0 Auxerre
