PSG vs Auxerre : Preview, Prediction & How to watch

Les Parisiens are looking to get back to winning ways when they host Auxerre at the Parc Des Princes on Saturday evening. Luis Enrique's side lost their last game against Marseille 1-0 at the Stade de Velodrome. The clash was postponed due to severe weather, forcing Ligue 1 to move the game to the following night. This was a mis convenience for PSG that was the same day as the balon d'or ceremony. The balon d'or ceremony was the talking point for the whole of the week as some felt Lamine Yamal was ranked too high while others thought he should have won it. Some were of the opinion that Pedri was too low in the top 30 rankings . This took a lot of attention away from the disappointing loss to Marseille at the Stade de Velodrome. It is the type of win that could kick start Marseille's season as they have not beaten Les Parisiens at home for 14 years.

De Zerbi's side did not have a great start to the season as they had lost two of their first four league games prior to their game against PSG on Monday night.
