Auxerre - Nantes betting tips and odds

The visitors are aware of the challenge that awaits them. To come out on top against Auxerre on their own field would be a major achievement, and it is always a tough task.

While Nantes may manage to claw their way to a win yet, it will be quite a struggle. As we can see thanks to the 3.20 betting odds for an away win, the odds are stacked against them – though it’s still manageable.

Auxerre’s latest away victory against Ajaccio was a surprise to experts and bookies alike. Most sportsbooks priced an away win at 3.05 going in, but they managed to snag an early lead and a stunning 0:3 victory.

Nantes faced off against Monaco in the previous round, who were considerably stronger going in – the odds on Nantes’s home win were 3.80 with top online bookmakers. After being behind on half time, however, they managed to equalize for a decent 2:2 draw.

Unspurred by the home-field advantage, Auxerre ended both of their latest home games with less than 2 goals between them and the opposition. It’s safe to assume we won’t see a lot of action this time around either.

It’s easy to spot a certain trend when looking over Nantes’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.

Though a home win is priced at 2.55, the hosts lost their most recent game against Nantes. The two teams played earlier in the season, though Auxerre were the visitors and the goal difference was quite narrow.

The visitors have to contend with several injuries. Rémy Descamps, Nicolas Pallois, Chirivella, João Victor are the players that will be missing, which makes the Nantes lineup somewhat weaker than usual. This is made far worse because they were considered undergods going in either way.

Though it’s a stretch, a Draw bet is likely the best option when it comes to betting on this match. With the odds at 3.20 with Unibet, it’s not exactly the safest of bets – but it’s quite strong when it comes to value.
