Nantes - Auxerre betting tips and odds

Nantes are expected to win here, but we can’t call such betting predictions completely foolproof. Auxerre may surprise us yet, and even a tie game seems a decent possibility from where we’re standing.

An away win in this match would be a huge surprise and an equally big achievement for Auxerre who could consider themselves fortunate if they run away with a point in the bag.

Nantes are coming off from a difficult trip in the Ligue 1. It was a close-cut game with level results both at halftime and after the final whistle. The hosts still can draw plenty of positives ahead of their Sunday clash.

The visitors are coming off from a narrow defeat in the last round of the Ligue 1. They were overwhelming underdogs at 1.65 betting odds but they still put up a good fight. Auxerre held on to a draw in the first half with only one goal making all the difference in the end.

The home team’s previous two Ligue 1 clashes as visitors ended with fewer than 2 goals on the scoreboard. They are at home this time around, but you may still want to stay away from bets like Over 5 Goals.

Results and standings notwithstanding, Auxerre have run into some defensive issues in this stretch of the Ligue 1. In the past 3 matches, they allowed more than 5 goals to their opponents, which may be cause for concern for their supporters.

The home team will want to get some more breathing room between them and the relegation zone. The competition in the Ligue 1 is becoming fiercer as we enter round 17, so snagging 3 points from Auxerre will be no easy feat.

Auxerre are not too far from the relegation zone as we enter round 17, and they’ll have to be careful not to dip below the line. There’s definitely cause for concern among their supporters, though, considering how unfavourable this matchup in Stade de la Beaujoire - Louis Fonteneau is.

If you’re hunting for betting value, a Draw bet is by far your best option. Success is definitely not guaranteed, but the 3.45 odds provide a decent enough return to make the risk worth it.
