Auxerre vs Angers: Match preview
Auxerre are hovering just above the relegation zone and are doing everything possible to stay in France’s top flight. The side have 25 points from 31 Ligue 1 matches and currently sit 16th, which would send them into the relegation play-off. They are five points behind 15th place with three rounds remaining. Survival through automatic safety is still possible, but it looks like a difficult task. Their cushion over 17th place is also five points, so the play-offs appear the most likely outcome.
Angers are higher in the Ligue 1 standings and look set to preserve their place in the top division. This fixture could go a long way toward confirming that. The side currently have 34 points after 31 rounds and are nine points clear of the relegation zone. With three matches left in the season, even a point here would guarantee Angers another year in Ligue 1. Their form, however, has been poor, as they are winless in six matches: two draws and four defeats.
Probable lineups
- Auxerre: De Percin, Okoh, Mensah, Oppegård, Diomandé, Senaya, Owusu, Faivre, Danois, Sinayoko, Namaso
- Angers: Koffi, Rao-Lisoa, Biumla, Ekomié, Bamba, Lefort, Belkebla, van den Boomen, Sbaï, Capelle, Peter
Prediction
I expect a tense contest, but not a high-scoring one, as neither side are particularly prolific and both come into the match out of form. My recommended bet is under 2.5 total goals.
