Ligue 1 2025-2026: Auxerre-Monaco, the likely formations

Auxerre and Monaco face off at 9:05 p.m. Saturday in the match that concludes the daily schedule for the fourth day of Ligue 1. On the field are two teams that have had the chance to graduate as French champions in quite recent times as well (especially the guests), but come to the challenge in two opposite moments of form. The hosts are in fact coming off two consecutive knockouts, after the success over Lorient in the season’s debut. The formation of the Principality, on the other hand, won the last one with Strasbourg, the second one after the one over Le Havre: in between the defeat with Lille.

Pellissier proposes an Auxerre with a single point, which will be Sinayoko. Behind him Osman and Casimir, with Namaso at the center of the battery of trequartists. Owusu and Danois breakwaters in the median, right flank ffid to Senaya while Mensah will act on the opposite lane.

More traditional is the 4-4-2 of Hutter’s Monaco, with Balogun and Biereth up front. In midfield Zakaria and Camara will be the two center-backs, on their sides Akliouche and Golovin. Teze, Dier, Mawissa and Caio Henrique the offensive quartet in front of Köhn.

Auxerre-Monaco, the likely lineups:

Auxerre (4-2-3-1): De Percin; Senaya, Akpa, Sierralta, Mensah; Owusu, Danois; Casimir, Namaso, Osman; Sinayoko. Coach: Pellissier.

Monaco (4-4-2): Köhn; Teze, Dier, Mawissa, Caio Henrique; Akliouche, Zakaria, Camara, Golovin; Balogun, Biereth. Coach: Hutter.
