Monaco receives Auxerre on Wednesday evening (9 p.m.) as part of the 21st day of Ligue 1. Here is everything you need to know about this meeting.
Monaco enriches week by week its beautiful series of invincibility and won a point at the Vélodrome last Saturday. ASM still has the podium in sight but will have to be irreproachable in the face of formations deemed affordable to climb there. Auxerre is one on paper, since AJA has been losing for many weeks. The Auxerrois are five points behind the first place of non-relegation.
