AJ Auxerre weekly update

AJ Auxerre had a great chance to position themselves solely atop the Ligue 1 tables on Monday when they took on AS Monaco. A 0-0 tie however, was all the away team could manage. The point gained in the tie though was enough to pull AJA even with Bordeaux and Montpellier on top of the French table with 56 points. Auxerre has beaten Bordeaux twice this season and have beaten and drawn with Montpellier. AJA will return to action on Sunday when they host Paris Saint Germain (40pts.). PSG upended Auxerre in a shootout in the Coupe de France last week. Bordeaux will play Nancy Lorraine (39pts) on Saturday (sandwiched between Champions League games with French counterpart Lyon) and Montpellier will host Monaco (45pts.)
