Angers Preview
Angers drew 0-0 with Lorient. Getting a point away from home is good, but not enough for a team that is trying to stay in the top flight.
So far the team has two wins, three ties and 17 losses. These numbers make Angers the team with the lowest number of wins and the highest number of losses after 22 matchdays. The draw the team achieved was important because it ended a negative streak of 13 defeats in a row in Ligue 1, and also because it brought back the clean sheet after five months. However, its defense remains as the second-worst defense of the campaign, with 47 goals conceded.
Probable lineup (4-4-2): Paul Bernardoni; Yan Valery, Cédric Hountondji, Miha Blazic, Ilyes Chetti; Amine Salama, Batista Mendy, Nabil Bentaleb, Himad Abdelli; Adrien Hunou, Ibrahima Niane
Auxerre Preview
Auxerre‘s situation is quite similar to Angers. This team has been able to get slightly more points, and in total it has 14 points with three wins, five draws and 14 defeats. It also drew 0-0 in the last match it played against Reims.
The draw completes a nine-match winless streak in Ligue 1, the last of which was a 1-0 win over Ajaccio in October. It should be noted that Auxerre is the worst away team of the campaign, after only one win in 11 matches disputed on rival soil. Most worryingly, the team has lost its last four away games.
Probable lineup (4-2-3-1): Andrei Radu; Gideon Mensah, Souleymane Isaak Touré, Jubal, Rayan Raveloson; Han-Noah Massengo, Birama Touré; Gauthier Hein, Mathias Autret, Nuno da Costa; Matthis Abline.
JefeBet Prediction
It is difficult to find a favorite for this Angers vs Auxerre match, as they are both in trouble. After seeing their last performances, the most likely scenario would be for them to split points, as they did on matchday 2 when they faced each other for the first time this season and ended with a 2-2 draw.
Prediction: Draw by a score of 1-1.
