Angers Team Overview
⚫ This season, Angers appear lackluster across all lines and concede heavily, especially against teams at the top of the table. Their goal difference stands at -17. With three matches remaining until the end of the season, the "black and whites" sit nine points clear of the relegation zone, meaning that even a single point will secure their spot in the top division.
⚪ Angers have not tasted victory in the last month and a half, managing only two points from draws against Le Havre (1-1) and Lyon (0-0). In their previous fixture, Angers were hammered by PSG, suffering a heavy home defeat (0-3). The "black and whites" stood little chance in this encounter, so discussing any coherent play is pointless.

Latest news
Auxerre
❌ Midfielder Romain Faivre's participation in the match is doubtful after he sustained an injury in the last round and was substituted in the 75th minute. Besides him, Auxerre's injury list includes a couple of other players: Oussama El Azzouzi (knee injury) and Fredrik Oppegard (muscle injury). The team's first-choice goalkeeper, Donovan Leon, is still recovering from a thigh injury.
Angers
❌ Angers face a few key absences ahead of their upcoming clash with Auxerre. Arkus Karlen remains sidelined with a groin injury, having been out since mid-March. Yassine Belkhdim has missed the last three rounds due to a hand injury. Marius Curcul and Aruna Djibiren are also in recovery and won't be featuring on the pitch this Sunday.
🟨 Yellow Card Prediction
The upcoming match will be officiated by Eric Wattellier. On average, he hands out 3 yellow cards per game over a span of 100 matches, with 21 fouls per game. In Ligue 1, Auxerre average 2.1 yellow cards per match, while Angers average 1.6. Both teams have been disciplined this season, and Wattellier isn't quick to issue cautions either, so we suggest betting on total yellow cards under 4.5 at odds of 1.41*.
⚽️ Goal Prediction
Auxerre's average individual total in Ligue 1 stands at 0.9 goals per match, slightly higher than Angers' 0.8. Matches involving these teams tend to be low-scoring, with both hosts and visitors averaging 2.2 goals per game. Considering this data and recent head-to-head results, we recommend the bet both teams to score (no) at odds of 1.68*.
🚩 Corner Prediction
In recent Ligue 1 matches, Auxerre have averaged 4.7 corners per game, while Angers have averaged 3.6. Both teams earn fewer corner kicks than the league average, so we suggest betting on total corners under 9.5 at odds of 1.80*.
*Odds are approximate and may vary across different bookmakers.
Editor's Prediction
For both teams, the outcome of the upcoming match is crucial as they desperately need points to secure their spot in the top division. However, their struggles in attack have been evident, with goals proving hard to come by. In such a scenario, even a single successful move forward could be decisive. Considering the head-to-head statistics and the low scoring nature of both teams this season, we suggest betting on under 2.5 total goals. Given that in the last four meetings between these sides, only the home team has emerged victorious, we anticipate a narrow 1-0 win for Auxerre.
