Clermont - Auxerre betting tips and odds

By pricing a home win at around 2.05, the bookies made it clear that Clermont are the favourites. Overall, though, the difference between the teams is not big, and the match can end either way.

The visitors would need to pull off quite a stunt in order to come out victorious. They are severely outmatched in this outing – the 3.60 away win odds alone should speak volumes.

Clermont’s latest away victory against Ajaccio was a surprise to experts and bookies alike. Most sportsbooks priced an away win at 3.30 going in, but they managed to snag an early lead and a stunning 1:3 victory.

Auxerre are coming off of a minor success, relatively speaking. They secured a 1:1 draw against Brest, who were tagged as hard favourites going in, but never managed to pull ahead.

It’s easy to spot a certain trend when looking over Auxerre’s recent history – and not in a good way. Their latest appearances were marked by a high concession rate. For example, their previous 3 matches featured more than 5 conceded goals.

Auxerre will be looking to take back some ground after a rather poor start to the season. They’re fairly deep in the lower end of the table with just 3 points between them and the relegation zone. With a match like the one at Clermont ahead of them, though, it’s hard to feel optimistic.

Our prediction would be a fairly safe Home Win bet at the odds of 2.05. It’s obvious the hosts have a clear advantage going into this clash, and there’s plenty of reasons to feel confident in their success.
