Personal analysis: Auxerre relies more on two full-backs in offense, especially the left-back Mensa, who has a high proportion of ball possession on the left. He likes to hold the ball to break through and organize offense. This player has good footwork but his stability and ball holding ability in confrontation are both biased, and the proportion of lost balls on the field is relatively high. The two wingers on the front line will lean towards the middle, and more often run to attract opponents and shoot in front of the goal. This style of play has higher requirements for wing players, and it is difficult to play better results in terms of the current team's strength. The team prefers confrontation intensity in defense, and is ruthless in committing threatening offensive fouls. The overall defensive level can reach the middle level in French Ligue 1. The offensive tactics of Saint-Etienne are similar to those of Auxerre. Right-back Appiah is responsible for most of the ball-holding and passing tasks on the right side. There are more ground passes and cooperation between players in the offense, and they play more patiently. However, the individual abilities of the players are not strong, and it is difficult to find scoring opportunities in the opponent's penalty area. Most effective attacks rely on counterattacks and positioning. The team's defense line has a biased ability to confront the wing. The relatively reliable center back Batubianska is the center back on the entire defense line. The rest of the players are relatively worse, and their defensive efficiency is low when facing speed forwards.

The offensive tactics of Auxerre and Saint-Etienne are similar. In terms of offensive ability, Saint-Etienne's overall coordination ability is better, while Auxerre's players have better footwork. On the defensive end, Saint-Etienne's confrontation ability is not reassuring, while Auxerre's basic marking and blocking are quite qualified, so Auxerre will have a slight advantage in the match between the two teams. In this game, Auxerre's home field handicap of 0.5 goals is normal. The strength gap between the two teams is not big. Saint-Etienne also has considerable long-range shooting ability in offense. Therefore, Lao Li believes that a draw is more likely in this game. Saint-Etienne +0.5 win option is recommended, and the score is mostly 0-0 or 1-1.
