Auxerre – Stade Brestois 29

Auxerre host Stade Brestois 29 in a clash that could see the home side try to claw back from a solitary point after three defeats, while Brest look to cement a top‑half spot with five points from one win, two draws and a loss. The hosts have scored just five goals while conceding eleven, whereas the visitors enjoy an even goal balance at six for and six against. With Brest sitting seventh in the table, a positive result would widen the gap to the chasing pack, while Auxerre’s fate hangs on turning their defensive frailties around. Their last meetings have been tightly contested, adding an extra edge to a fixture that may prove pivotal for both campaigns.
