Auxerre will host Ajaccio at the Stade de l'Abbe-Deschamps on Sunday (October 30) afternoon in Ligue 1.
After a positive start to their season, the hosts have struggled for results recently, prompting the dismissal of manager Jean-Marc Furlan. Auxerre lost 2-1 to Stade Reims in their last league outing. Auxerrelooked set to come away with a point before their opponents snatched all three points three minutes from time.
The hosts are 18th in the standings with nine points from 12 games. They will now look to kick off Christophe Pelissier's reign as the new manager with maximum points.
Ajaccio, meanwhile, have not fared much better than their fellow newly promoted outfit but are keeping faith with their current manager. They lost 3-0 against league leaders Paris Saint-Germain in their last game. Ajaccio were fortunate not to have lost by a larger margin, as they were carved apart at ease by the defending champions.
The visitors are a place and a point behind their weekend opponents in the standings. They are level on points with Angers in last place and will look to widen the gap.
