The midfield battle, particularly how Auxerre's young talent, Lassine Sinayoko, handles Brest's experienced pivot, Pierre Lees-Melou, will decide this one. Auxerre has been in a slide, picking up just one point in their last five outings and scoring only two goals in that span. Brest, on the other hand, has been riding a wave of confidence, unbeaten in six straight league matches, including a dominant 3-0 win over Le Havre last weekend. Brest keeps rolling at home.
Brest 2, Auxerre 0.
