Personal analysis: Monaco prefers to play a passing and controlling style in the midfield. Takumi Minamino in the center is quite good in holding and passing the ball. With Ben Segil and Golovin on the wing, both wings have good ball holding and advancing ability, while center forward Embolo is a good counterattack point and a support point in the penalty area. Monaco's overall style of play is relatively simple, and it can play better in slow-paced games. Once it encounters a team with particularly strong offensive capabilities, it is easy to be defeated. The overall confrontation ability and single defense ability of the back line are relatively average. For example, Zakaria in the defensive midfielder position and left back Mavisa are obviously different from the first-class forwards in speed. In the last round of the game against Inter Milan, the two were basically directly beaten by Thuram and Dumfries. The tactical arrangement of the team's entire back line and the ability to resist pressure and pass the ball are relatively average. The strength of the forwards of the Auxerre team is not bad. The center forward Sinayoko and the left winger Traore both have strong ability to get rid of the shot. With the good passing ability of Owusu in the midfield and the left back Mensa, the two can cooperate with each other to achieve some good offensive effects. In particular, Mensa's speed ability is quite good, which has a relatively large role for the team on both offense and defense. The team has a certain interception ability in the midfield, and the retreat speed of the back line is barely enough. Relatively speaking, it is slightly weak in the ability to defend and confront.

Both Monaco and Auxerre have performed well this season. Monaco plays a more controlled style, while Auxerre prefers to use the speed of the midfield to attack. The difference in defensive strength between the two teams is not big. On the contrary, Auxerre's backcourt ball handling ability may be slightly stronger than Monaco. Monaco may take some rest in this game as they just finished the Champions League. In this game, Monaco's home game handicap of 1.5 goals is a bit high, especially the connection degree between Monaco's midfield and backcourt and the frontcourt is not high. When the back line is under great pressure, it is difficult to play the offensive rhythm of the frontcourt normally. It is not easy to win a big victory over Auxerre, which has considerable counterattack ability. Therefore, Lao Li still recommends Auxerre + 1.5 wins in this game, and the score is expected to be 2-1 or 2-2.
