PSG vs Auxerre Prediction: Mbappe and Co. looking to stretch winning run against Auxerre

Paris Saint-Germain will look to win their eighth successive game in all competitions when they play Auxerre in Ligue 1 on Sunday.

PSG currently holds a five-point advantage over Lens in the Ligue 1 standings, where they are currently in first place.

The Parisian giants narrowly defeated Lorient 2-1 in their previous match, and this weekend, they'll want to up the ante. Only Serie A leaders Napoli are also yet to lose this season in the top five European leagues.

Despite having a six-game winning streak across all competitions and setting up a fantastic Champions League last-16 matchup with Bayern Munich — a rematch of the 2020 final — PSG's defensive shortcomings have surfaced, as they have gone four games without a clean sheet.

The visitors have turned to former Lorient manager Christophe Pelissier to try to keep them afloat in the top division after the departure of Jean-Marc Furlan from the Auxerre hotseat.

Getting four points from his first two games in charge will help Pelissier win over the Auxerre supporters, as following last week's 1-0 victory over Ajaccio, Auxerre rallied from a goal down to hold Troyes to a 1-1 draw the previous weekend.

They are currently 15th in the table.

Donnarumma; Pereira, Marquinhos, Ramos; Hakimi, Verratti, Vitinha, Mendes; Messi; Mbappe, Neymar

Costil; Raveloson, Bain, Jubal, Jeanvier, Mensah; Sinayoko, Sakhi, Toure, Perrin; Niang

With one of the strongest teams in the world at their disposal, PSG has excelled this season under Christophe Galtier. Kylian Mbappe has been scoring goals in stunning fashion this season and intends to increase that total.

Auxerre is a strong team on their best days, but they will need to play their best game in this match. PSG should be able to win this game because they are the superior team on paper.
