Monaco have been in a bit of inconsistent form lately as they have lost three of their last five games, including the heavy 3-0 defeat to Inter Milan in the Champions League. In that game, Christian Mawissa was sent off, which left Monaco with 10 men for most of the match. Adi Hütter's side was thoroughly outplayed as they failed to manage a single shot on target, did not have a corner, and only had 36% possession.
Despite their European struggles, Monaco has been decent at home, collecting three wins out of their last five (WLWLW), and their attack has been decent at Stade Louis II; they have usually scored first when hosting Auxerre in recent clashes.
On the positive side, Monaco added that Adi Hütter's contract was extended to 2027, a sign of long-term belief in the German head coach. All in all, Monaco had a really disappointing Champions League season, where they finished 10th in the standings, and move on to the playoff knockout round.

Expert Betting Tips
Combo Bet – Monaco Double Chance & Under 3.5 Goals @ 1.89 Odds (1xbet): Monaco is on the high ground historically, though their current form is fragile. Considering Auxerre struggles a lot, Monaco at least shouldn't lose. Taking into consideration both teams had a low number of goals scored, under 3.5 goals keeps this bet safe.
Total Corners - Under 10 Corners @ 1.80 Odds (Bet365): Monaco was shockingly shut out on corners against Inter Milan, and most of their recent games have been pretty low on corners. Auxerre is also a low-corner team, making under 10 a strong play.
Half Time Total Goals – Under 1.5 @ 1.69 Odds (Betway): Both teams have a tendency to start games conservatively. In addition, Auxerre has featured in low-scoring matches in the league. Monaco may get time to get settled after the UCL disappointment. Expect a tight first half.
