Last match of the quarterfinals of the French League Cup will be played at l’Abbe-Deschamps, where Auxerre are hosting Marseille. Duel of two teams from the bottom part of the standings will be very interesting since they have equal chance to qualify for the semifinals of the League Cup.

Auxerre fighting to survive in the championship…

Auxerre are 16th at the moment on the standings of French championship. They play quite good in front of their fans (six wins and four defeats), and the reason for low status on the standings is away play. They picked up only five points out of ten games, and with St Etienne they have the weakest score away. They are playing against Marseille after a defeat in an away game against Bordeaux. In the first part of the season they marked a triumph and so ended the series of four consecutive defeats against the team from Velodrom.

There are no suspended players in Auxerre before this quarterfinal match of League Cup, and Traore and Baptist are still injured. Manager Roussey will be able to field the strongest line-up in this match, actually the team that played against Bordeaux this weekend.

Can Marseille surprise Auxerre....

Similar to their today’s rival, Marseille too suffered a defeat by Rennes last weekend in the Championship. They were equal rivals till 39th minute when Pagis leveled the lead of Marseille and Wiltord solved the question of winner with two goals scored. Team led by manager Gerets managed to escape the relegation zone so they are awaiting this match without tension.

Marseille are not too good away this season – only two wins and four draws out of ten games. They had a really hard time against Metz in League Cup, so the question is if they can play well against Auxerre that play quite good in front of their fans.

Betting verdict

Auxerre are good at home, Marseille weak away. By the end of September Auxerre celebrated against the most famous French club, and we believe that it will be the same this time. The bookies favour the hosts, and we also believe that the popular AJ could mark a victory in this match. Odds on home win are more than good and we recommend you to skip betting on goals in this game.
