The Ligue 1 weekend gets underway at the Stade de l'Abbe Deschamps on Friday night, when a faltering Auxerre side face relegation-threatened Saint-Etienne.

Auxerre:

After a promising November, Auxerre's season has unraveled with a seven-game winless streak across all competitions, culminating in last weekend's 2-0 loss to Angers. Christophe Pelissier's men, once chasing European spots, now languish in 11th, perilously close to the relegation battle. AJA have also struggled at home, failing to win in their last four matches at Stade de l'Abbe Deschamps. A repeat of their 5-2 victory over Saint-Etienne here last season could provide the spark they desperately need to reverse their fortunes.

Saint-Etienne:

Eirik Horneland's arrival during the winter break has sparked signs of improvement for Saint-Etienne, with four points from three games, including a hard-fought draw against Nantes last weekend. However, Les Verts' away form remains dire, with just one point and 14 goals conceded in their last six road games. Despite their struggles, Saint-Etienne's defensive resilience against PSG earlier this month shows progress, and a positive result against Auxerre could lift them out of the relegation zone.
