Auxerre - Toulouse predictions

The visiting team knows the task they face will not be easy. Beating Auxerre on their own turf would be a major accomplishment, and it is always a formidable challenge.

No outcome of this match would catch us by surprise. It’s a rarely fair matchup, though that’s not always good for betting. Currently, though, Toulouse are somewhat more likely to triumph with betting odds of 2.39 on them winning.

Auxerre were up against a vastly superior opponent in the last round - Monaco – which means the 4:2 result was rather predictable. Considering the home-field disadvantage and 7.81 betting odds that most bookies gave them, the lead Auxerre had in the first half was quite surprising.

Toulouse performed above most expectations in the previous round by securing a draw against Nice. Spurred on by their home supporters, they overcame their opponents’ first-half lead and ended the match 1:1.

The first step Auxerre need to make to improve is to shore up their defences. With more than 5 goals conceded over the last 3 matches, it seems to be the main aspect of play holding them back.

Toulouse’s away matches are consistently slow in terms of goals scored. The previous two matches, for instance, featured less than 2.

Toulouse are expected to win this bout despite playing on Auxerre ’s home turf. This prediction makes a lot of sense when you consider their first bout this season. Playing as the hosts, Toulouse took a decisive lead and ended the match with a noteworthy goal difference.

Auxerre’s chances of winning are more difficult to gauge than usual. Though they would be underdogs anyhow, Kévin Danois, Lasso Coulibaly, Nathan Buayi-Kiala, Aristide Zossou have been injured on top of that. Needless to say, they have a difficult match to look forward to.

We recommend that you back Toulouse in a Draw No Bet wager. The risks are still quite minimal due to the market, but there’s still plenty of betting value to make the wager worthwhile.
