Auxerre - Lens predictions

While Auxerre winning is still technically possible, we wouldn’t hold our breath. They are severely outmatched compared to Lens, so even a draw result would be quite surprising.

With 2.01 odds for an away win, Lens have a rather clear path to victory. Still, there’s plenty of room for an upset in a match like this, so other options are still worth considering.

Auxerre are coming off from a : draw in an away game at Paris Saint Germain . Betting predictions for that game were heavily in their opponents’ favour, though, so the fact that they pulled off a draw both at half time and as the final result is a success, relatively speaking.

Lens are coming on the back of a fairly dull affair at Rennes. The HT/FT draw was ultimately in their favour, though. After all, they were the visitors and most Ligue 1 betting predictions expected them to lose, if only by a narrow margin

Looking strictly at the home side, this match can be a solid choice for a bet like the Under 5 Goals market. Their previous two games at Stade de l'Abbe-Deschamps ended up confirming even Under 5 Goals.

Auxerre are treading dangerously close to the relegation with just 1 point more than the bottom-placed teams. Although they’ll get plenty of chances to move up as the season progresses, betting predictions are not too optimistic about this Sunday’s match.

Lens’s current position as 7th in the standings is moderately good so far, but they’ll need to get better results if they want to call the season successful. They’ll have plenty of time t do so, though overcoming AuxerreS this Sunday will not be easy.

Lens were soundly defeated the last time they clashed with Auxerre in the previous season. This upset would have been less painful if not for the considerable goal difference at the final whistle. They’re still more likely to win this game, though.

With no injuries reported on either side of the pitch, both coaches have their full rosters at their disposal. As such, the odds remain firmly in the visitors’ favour.

And Away Win wager here offers a nice balance between risk and reward. It’s a bit riskier than what most betting predictions usually suggest, but the 1.99 odds are worth it in terms of value.
