Auxerre will be hosting PSG in tonight's encounter with the visitors whom I like calling the domestic champions can only cause damage here in the Ligue 1 but not where they have bigger teams all over Europe coming to compete and to become Champions of Europe in the CL. The home side have been putting more effort to get to the top, out of 13 games they won 6 lost 1 and drew 6, occupying 8th position on the league table at least they're better than Brest on the log who are in the champions league.
PSG are the chosen ones in this game but that doesn't mean the home side won't put up a fight to get something to make the fans cheer but let's not forget that PSG have the UCL to play and the game against Auxerre could definitely be a draw game or the home side might get a narrow win after all PSG are using 7pt to beat Marseille on the table so losing this game won't affect them in any way.
In tonight's game, I may say that PSG is the favorite team to win the match, despite knowing that Auxerre is also in good form and the host of the game. It may be a tough match for PSG, but I still expect them to win. However, if they don't win, the least performance I expect from PSG is a draw; I’m not expecting them to lose this kind of match.
I know they have the Champions League to play, but that shouldn't be the reason for them to lose this match to Auxerre. Even without some of PSG's key players, they can still secure a win or at least a draw. PSG has many quality players, and even their second XI can still play competitively against Auxerre.I don’t want to bet, but even if I wanted to, I would hardly bet on Auxerre to win or even draw the game.
It would have been a night to celebrate only if Auxerre have won the game, as of 80'mins I was expecting to see a 1nil till full time by the host but it never happened. I still don't get it why PSG have to struggle in some games in the Ligue 1 and still do the same outside the league, is it that they're not sure of the matches they are suppose to win or what?
At some point I was expecting a big score margin but after checking how the host have struggled to be in that position they are now I had to give it to them, they are in for business. A goalless draw isn't what I expected of PSG but is a big success to the host for keeping a clean sheet and making life a living hell for the visitors.
I agree with you, champions league should not always be the reason why they have to lose or draw a games and even when they do all these things to reserve players ahead of the UCL they still go on to mess up, always on a hot sit, like PSG is a disgrace to themselves and to the owners. I wonder what they'll play in the champions league, they can't even get a comfortable win, that's so annoying.
