In the Coupe de France’s last 16 on Wednesday (February 8), Auxerre will play Rodez at the Stade de l’Abbe-Deschamps.
The hosts will be hoping for better luck in the domestic cup after a difficult return to Ligue 1. In their first cup match of the season, Auxerre played Dunkerque to a 2-2 draw before winning on penalties. In the subsequent round, they defeated Chamois Niortais, a team from Ligue 2, 4-0.
Auxerre has won the domestic cup four times, their most recent victory coming in the 2004-2005 season. In the 2014–15 season, they came in second.
After a goalless 90 minutes, Rodez defeated Saint-Ettiene on penalties in the first round. In the subsequent round, they won 1-0 against Roche Saint-Genest. Rodez continued their dominance by defeating Monaco on penalties and Racing Club de Grasse on penalties.
This season, the visitors have had trouble in the league, but they will try to extend their cup run this week.
Auxerre vs Rodez Team News :
Due to the illness of backup midfielder Kays Ruiz-Atil, Auxerre’s only current absentee, their treatment room is currently empty. Auxerre held Reims to a 0-0 draw in their last game over the weekend, and AJA, who are in last place in Ligue 1, still has a good chance of falling out of the top flight.
In the Coupe de France Round of 16 on Wednesday, Auxerre plays Rodez, who are 19th in Ligue 2. Even though Christophe Pélissier’s team is struggling in Ligue 1, they should be able to win a cup midweek. Auxerre defeated Niort, a team that is currently ranked 20th in the second division, 4-0 in the tournament’s first round.
Our second prediction goes into the goal markets, and we think Auxerre will have a good night in the third quarter. In the previous round of the competition, the hosts defeated Niort of Ligue 2 by four goals, and on Wednesday, they will play Rodez, a team of similar quality. We anticipate that Auxerre will make full use of their superior talent, so it might be wise to consider placing a wager on AJA in the market for over 1.5 team goals.
Monaco famously lost to Rodez in the first round of the Coupe de France, but they beat National 2 underdogs Grasse with spot kicks in the first round. In the cup, Rodez has been playing in a 3-5-2 system, and they should use it again on Wednesday.
