Auxerre vs Angers Predictions

Another away setback for Angers

Auxerre are the best bet to win at home to Angers on Sunday. The visitors have lost on their last two away games and could be heading for another defeat here.

Angers are three places above Auxerre in the table, but both teams have lost more games than they’ve won this season. The hosts sit 16th with five wins and 16 defeats, while Angers are 13th with nine wins and 15 losses.

Angers could not break their losing habit last time, going down 3-0 to ten-man Paris Saint-Germain at home in their last Ligue 1 outing. The result was no surprise, with Paris Saint-Germain priced at 1/4 to win the game.

The hosts have been defensively solid at home, with Auxerre keeping four clean sheets in their last five Ligue 1 games.

Angers have been struggling for results lately, going six Ligue 1 games without recording a victory and winning just one of their last ten matches. They have had four reverses in their last six league games.

The visitors have struggled to find the net on their travels this season, with just nine goals in 15 away games – an average of 0.60 goals a game on the road.

They are looking vulnerable at the back. It’s three Ligue 1 games since Angers last recorded a shutout, and they have failed to keep a clean sheet in eight of their last ten league matches.

Auxerre may be able to edge out Angers in a close game, with a 2-1 home win the correct-score pick. Ligue 1 is averaging 2.8 goals a game this season, and this match could be another high-scoring affair.
