Auxerre predicted XI v Marseille: Hamed Traorè benched, Gabriel Osho starts | OneFootball

After an impressive first few months of the campaign, AJ Auxerre have struggled to find a win. Since defeating Angers SCO 1-0 in late November, Christophe Pélissier’s side have gone winless across all competitions. Tonight they host second-place Olympique de Marseille.

Pélissier will look to make a few changes from the side that drew with Stade Brestois (2-2) last weekend. Gabriel Osho will return to the starting lineup as the head coach likely will go with a back five instead of a back four.

The extra defender means that Hamed Traorè will probably drop to the bench. The Bournemouth loanee has been Auxerre’s top scorer this season with nine goals in Ligue 1. Up front, Pélissier will keep the faith with summer recruit Theo Bair.
