Auxerre - Troyes betting tips and odds

Though Auxerre are more likely to win this, an away win would only be slightly surprising. It’s a relatively balanced matchup, which usually means we’ll see some exciting football.

The matchup this Saturday is rather one-sided, with Troyes seen as the clear underdogs. Most bookmakers online have priced their victory at 4.25, which is enough to doubt such an outcome will happen.

The home side is eager to bounce back from the latest Ligue 1 disappointment. Auxerre suffered a disappointing Strasbourg away defeat last time out and will be keen to bounce back asap. This match exposed all of their weaknesses right from the start and they need to avoid the same thing happening on Saturday.

The away team previously played at home but were in for a very tough matchup against 2.50. Most sportsbooks online saw them as the clear underdogs, but they managed to pull ahead in the early game. The clash ultimately ended in a draw, which definitely works for Troyes considering the unfavourable betting odds.

Results and standings notwithstanding, Troyes 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.

Though they’re not in the relegation zone, Auxerre are placed at 17th on the table. They’ll want to build up a healthy point difference if they want to be sure they’ll stay in the Ligue 1, and they have a good shot at doing so this Saturday.

After 29 games played, Troyes only managed to put together 21 point. This landed them at the number 18th spot in the standings, which means they’re at risk of relegation. To make matters worse, winning even a single point in Stade de l'Abbe-Deschamps seems quite unlikely at this point.

Auxerre may be the favourites in this matchup, but they’ve yet to prove they can conclusively defeat Troyes this season. They had several opportunities to do so, and all ended with a tied result.

Both teams will be able to field their strongest lineups this Saturday, with no injuries or suspensions to worry about.

Over 2.5 Goals is easily the safest bet when it comes to this matchup. The best part is that it also maintains a decent betting value, especially if you use the 2.04 odds offered at 10Bet.
