Angers vs Auxerre Prediction: Which of these teams will win to boost their chances of survival?

The pressure mounts on the teams in the 19th and 29th positions on the Ligue 1 table. Both teams have not been consistent enough and this is evident in their respective league positions. This defining match will take place at the Raymond Kopa stadium and the home team will be hoping to record their 3rd win in Ligue 1 this season. Auxerre on the other hand will be hoping to record their 4th win of the season in Ligue 1. Which of these teams can get positive results?

The home team is on a losing streak that stretches back to October 2022 and leads to the dismissal of Baticle and his coaching staff. The sacking of Baticle has not changed the team's performance and may lead to the team getting relegated from the top tier of French football.

Angers has a very poor home form which is undesirable for a team with aiming to play in Ligue 1 next season. Of the 11 matches played at home, they have won 1, drawn 1, and lost 9. They have conceded 24 goals while scoring 12.

The Auxerre’s situation is not that different from Angers. Auxerre was on a 7 games losing streak until they drew 0-0 with Reims. This run of form will not be enough to keep the away side in Ligue 1 next season although they are 5 points off Angers.

Away from home, Auxerre have won 1 of the 11 matches played, scoring 9 and conceding 27. Auxerre have not kept a clean sheet when playing away from home.

Both teams have been conceding goals but scoring few goals as evident in their goal difference. Hence, we don’t expect over 2.5 goals. We anticipate a slight home advantage but to be sure, we go for Home or Draw and under 3.5 goals. Expect under 12 corners.
