Strasbourg - Auxerre predictions

A home win should not be questioned in this game. Strasbourg are seen as huge favourites to register an easy win against Auxerre and we recommend you take the generous offer of 1.73.

The matchup this Wednesday is rather one-sided, with Auxerre seen as the clear underdogs. Most bookmakers online have priced their victory at 4.91, which is enough to doubt such an outcome will happen.

While Strasbourg can’t exactly be happy with their 2:1 loss in the previous round, a narrow defeat after an undecided first half isn’t too bad. After all, they were considered hard underdogs and played as visitors against Olympique Lyonnais .

The away team are here after a narrow but impactful defeat at the hands of Le Havre. Auxerre played that showdown at home and with a fairly decent shot at winning, but ended up locked in a stalemate for most of the match. They eventually conceded the deciding goal in the second half.

Though the 5 concessions over the past 3 away games for Strasbourg may not directly affect this particular match, such a history may be cause for concern for their supporters.

Strasbourg are fighting hard to stay in the upper half of the Ligue 1 table, so a win here will be extremely valuable. They seem poised to take it, which might be the start of a fruitful season.

Auxerre are going into round 10 in a very rough spot. They’re already down in the relegation zone after acquiring just 7 points so far. Although they’ll have plenty of time to move up in the standings, they’re not very likely to earn any points in this upcoming match.

The latest example of a clash between these two sides we have is from last season when Strasbourg managed to walk away with a solid victory and a 2+ goal difference. If the 1.73 betting odds for a home win are to be believed, most bookies are expecting them to repeat that success.

This Wednesday, both teams will have a full roster available to them, thanks to the absence of injuries or suspensions.

Our advice is to stay on the safe side and go for the Over 2.5 Goals market. It’s reliable, very probable, and available at odds of 1.87 if you use the Pncl sportsbook.
