Angers v Auxerre Tips

Another of the football league matches in France is this one. The local team and one of the teams that fights in the lower zone with them are going to win in a match that I think can be essential for drawing out differences between direct rivals. The local team cannot waste the chance to win at home.

Angers are stronger at home but inconsistent, while Auxerre desperately need a result after poor form. Both sides may approach cautiously, lacking confidence in attack, which should lead to a scrappy draw.

The two lowest scorers in the league lock horns at Stade Raymond-Kopa with both sides in need of points. Angers have scored 8 and Auxerre have netted 7 in their 11 games each. Auxerre are at the bottom and will fight hard here. #unders in a row in the last 3 H2Hs and another one is likely.

Angers’ recent games show defensive instability but strong attacking intent, while Auxerre’s leaky back line and need to respond after losses promise open play. Both sides’ vulnerabilities point toward a match exceeding 2.5 goals.

Tasty odds for teams that are capable of goals, though they had contrasting fortunes in Europe midweek. Their last matchups have resulted in 9 goals.
