Nantes - Auxerre predictions

Nantes are definitely more likely to win, though all three possible results are quite reasonable to expect. This makes it hard to make reliable betting predictions when this match is concerned, though we may find some betting value.

The visitors are conscious of the challenge before them. To come out on top against Nantes on their home field would be a noteworthy accomplishment, and it is never an easy task.

Nantes are coming off from a Strasbourg away defeat in the last round of the Ligue 1. It was a difficult game for them but it’s fair to say they managed to beat the odds in a way. Having been made overwhelming underdogs, they weren’t really expected to hold the terms level for the entire 45 minutes and go down with only a one-goal difference.

Auxerre are coming on the back of a crushing defeat at the hands of Nice. They never really had much of a shot, to be fair: the odds were decidedly against them and they were playing as visitors. The outcome is a 3:1 goal difference and an HT/FT loss.

If you’re looking for an Under 5 Goals football bet, Nantes may offer a decent opportunity. Their previous two matches even confirmed the Under 5 Goals market.

The two teams last met in the previous season when Nantes won the clash with a convincing goal difference. Their fans are expecting another clear-cut triumph and the bookmakers tend to agree.

Saturday's matchup will see both teams at full strength, free of injuries and suspensions.

Betting on a Draw is likely to be your best option, though it’s a relatively risky wager. It offers decent value with the 3.25 odds, though, which can be found at top online bookmakers such as Pncl.
