As a newly-promoted outfit, Auxerre made a mockery of all pre-season predictions that suggested they would struggle to stay up making a fantastic start, but results have fallen off a cliff since December.

After winning their final three games in November, including thrashing Marseille on the road, Christophe Pelissier's men have been unable to hit the same heights since losing to Toulouse on December 1.

Since December, Auxerre have taken just two points from four games, and were knocked out of the Coupe de France by Ligue 2 Dunkerque at home to end 2024.

The new year got off to a poor start as well, because even though Pelissier's side led against Strasbourg, they collapsed in the second half to lose 3-1, meaning they fell to ninth, and are now as close to the bottom three as they are to the top six.

作为一支新升级的球队，欧塞尔嘲笑了所有赛季前的预测，这些预测表明他们将难以保持一个梦幻般的开局，但自12月以来，成绩已经急剧下降。

在赢得了11月的最后三场比赛，包括客场大胜马赛之后，克里斯托夫·佩利西耶的球队在12月1日输给图卢兹之后就再也没能达到同样的高度。

自去年12月以来，欧塞尔在四场比赛中仅拿到2分，并在2024年底在法国杯主场被法甲敦刻尔克淘汰出局。

新的一年开局也很糟糕，因为尽管佩莱西耶的球队在对阵斯特拉斯堡的比赛中领先，但他们在下半场以1比3输掉了比赛，这意味着他们跌到了第九位，现在既接近前六，也接近后三。
