Monaco

Auxerre

Over 2.5 Match Goals

Reason for tip

Over 2.5 goals looks the best bet when Monaco host Auxerre. Monaco matches are regularly high scoring, with 18 of 29 producing at least three goals and ten of 15 at home going over. Their last three have all cleared the line too. Auxerre are shaky away, conceding in four straight road trips, so Monaco should do most of the damage and Auxerre can still contribute.

Monaco 3-1

Reason for tip

Monaco 3-1 is the correct-score pick. The hosts are strong at home and have won six of their last eight at Stade Louis II, while their games often see goals at both ends. Auxerre’s defence has looked vulnerable on the road and they have been conceding consistently, so Monaco should create plenty and score three. Monaco also win by two goals fairly often, with six such victories in the league, which supports a comfortable home win with Auxerre grabbing a consolation.

Goals expected at Stade Louis II

Monaco’s last three Ligue 1 matches have each produced over 2.5 goals and that trend looks set to continue when Sebastien Pocognoli’s side host Auxerre at Stade Louis II on Sunday.

Monaco are ninth places above Auxerre in the table, with 25 points separating the two teams. The hosts, who are seventh with 15 wins, four draws and ten defeats, face visitors who are 16th with five wins, nine draws and 15 losses.

Monaco are in excellent form, having won eight of their last ten Ligue 1 matches and enjoying success in six of their last eight home games. In contrast, victories are proving hard to come by for Auxerre, who have won just one of their last seven league matches, with four of the last six finishing all square.

Monaco lost 4-1 to Paris last week in their last Ligue 1 outing and the result kept up their run of games with over 2.5 goals. Folarin Balogun found the net for Monaco, but this was a shocking result for them, as they had been priced as 10/11 favourites to win. The defeat means Monaco have failed to win six of the 15 games in which they have been odds-on this season.

Auxerre have shown defensive frailties in recent games, conceding on each of their last four Ligue 1 road trips.

There have been plenty of goals in Monaco’s games this season, with three goals or more in 18 of their 29 Ligue 1 matches. Ten of their 15 home league games have finished with over 2.5 goals.

A 3-1 home win for Monaco is an appealing correct-score bet. No Ligue 1 team has played more games in which both sides have scored than Monaco this season, and they have been two-goal winners six times in the league.
