Angers SCO - Auxerre predictions

Auxerre will give Angers SCO a run for their money and there is no doubt about it. However, at 2.50 odds on home win in this match, we still recommend backing the hosts.

Auxerre are coming into this match as underdogs, though the difference is not overwhelming. Even so, they’re not all that likely to win. An Away Win bet is priced at 2.97 with top online bookies, which could bring a decent profit.

No-one expected Angers SCO’s incredible performance in the previous round – least of all their opponents. Despite overwhelming odds and a home-field disadvantage, Angers SCO took the lead in the first half and turned it into a decisive 1:3 away victory against Montpellier .

Auxerre are coming off of a minor success, relatively speaking. They secured a 0:0 draw against Lille, who were tagged as hard favourites going in, but never managed to pull ahead.

After a string of 3 draws in home games, Auxerre fans are hoping for a bit more excitement this time around.

Though a home win is priced at 2.50, the hosts lost their most recent game against Auxerre. The two teams played earlier in the season, though Angers SCO were the visitors and the goal difference was quite narrow.

A string of injuries put a large chunk of the visitors’ lineup out of contention. They’ll have to make do without Kévin Danois, Ange Loïc N’Gatta, Donovan Leon, Théo Pellenard, Lasso Coulibaly, Gabriel Osho, Nathan Buayi-Kiala. Given that they were already underdogs anyhow, this puts them at a severely disadvantaged position.

Though a Home Win seems like a sure bet here, we would advise securing it additionally with a Draw No Bet. Angers SCO have been known to lack consistency at times, so removing the possibility of a draw is well worth reducing the odds to 1.
