Auxerre - Monaco predictions

Auxerre will likely try to secure a draw at most. They are outclassed by Monaco, plain and simple, and most bookies online agree with this – after all, the betting odds on a home win for this match are 4.71.

We are most likely going to see this match being won by Monaco. They have a solid advantage over their opponents – at least according to the betting odds. That said, we’ve definitely seen much bigger surprises in the Ligue 1 but such a scenario is not entirely likely in this fixture.

Auxerre showed some character in their previous Ligue 1 outing. It was a tough trip to take but they held well. Matter of fact, Auxerre kept it level at the break and after the full 90 minutes for a Nantes draw.

The latest 3:2 home win by Monaco was quite predictable – it went down the way most betting predictions said it would. They secured an early lead against Strasbourg and carried it all the way to the final 3:2 result.

Monaco dominated Auxerre throughout the previous season. Not only did they come out on top on more than one occasion, but each victory was won with a notable goal difference. We can safely assume things won’t go vastly different this time around.

The absence of injuries or suspensions means both teams will have their full lineups at their disposal for a thrilling matchup.

Based on both teams’ previous performances, an Over 2.5 Goals bet is very likely to win. The returns are somewhat limited at the odds of 1.56, but it’s still an incredibly safe bet.
