Auxerre vs Nantes Prediction 10 May 2025
🔊 Will the unmotivated "Burgundians" push the "Canaries" to the brink of disaster? In the 33rd round of Ligue 1, Nantes travel to the Abbé-Deschamps Stadium in Auxerre, aiming to secure points and ensure their place in the top flight for next season. Auxerre, on the other hand, are eager to deliver a victory for their fans in their final home match of the season. Especially since Auxerre have lost their last two home games. Despite the lack of standings motivation for the hosts, a fierce contest is anticipated.
Head-to-Head
📊 Over the past 7 years, these teams have faced each other only 3 times, with the home side winning each encounter-Nantes twice (2-0 and 1-0) and Auxerre once (2-1). Considering this history and the hosts' motivation to redeem themselves after recent home losses, we suggest a bet on Auxerre not to lose.
Head-to-head statistics Auxerre - Nantes
Auxerre Team Overview
⚪️ Auxerre unexpectedly fell to Le Havre (1-2) in their last home match, conceding the decisive goal in stoppage time. This defeat marked their second consecutive home loss following a 1-3 setback against Lyon earlier. The "Burgundians" are determined not to end the season with three straight home defeats and will do everything in their power to break this frustrating streak.
🔗 Despite losing at home twice in a row, the defeat to Le Havre was only their fourth home loss in this Ligue 1 campaign.

Nantes Team Overview
🟡 Nantes, following a recent run of four matches (0-2-2), find themselves perilously close to the relegation zone and face the mathematical threat of direct relegation from Ligue 1 if they lose their remaining two games. Antoine Kombouaré's side are just one point away from the relegation playoff zone and four points from direct relegation. However, the Canaries' fans are likely reassured by the prospect of defeating a struggling Montpellier at home in the final round. It remains to be seen whether Nantes will delay securing their safety until the last matchday.
📣 Nantes' head coach Antoine Kombouaré commented on their recent 1-0 defeat to Angers: "We need to play much better. When you don't score, you can't afford to concede. That goal hurts us. The defeat is deserved; we didn't do what we needed to do. I sense anxiety, a lack of initiative. We're afraid to open up; we had 0.2 xG (0.27), which is our worst attacking performance. We started the first half well, but there was no desire to see it through. There's tension, no collective strength, no passion, no rebellion, no madness. We need a strong spirit to rise again. We're in a difficult position. But we're still ahead of many teams in the fight to stay in Ligue 1. We must realize that what we're doing isn't right."

Latest news
Auxerre
❌ Christophe Pelissier faces a few challenges with injured players. Doubts linger over the participation of key defensive midfielder Elisha Owusu (1 goal, 3 assists in 26 matches) and attacking midfielder Hamed Traore (10 goals, 2 assists in 24 matches). Midfielder Kevin Danois will miss out due to a recent injury. Long-term absentee defensive midfielder Nathan Bouya-Kiala remains unavailable for the team.
Nantes
❌ Returning from suspension are right-back Marcus Coco and key midfielder Douglas Augusto (4 goals and 2 assists in 26 matches). Left-back Nicolas Cozza (1 goal in 27 matches) will be unavailable due to an accumulation of yellow cards. Out with injuries are Strasbourg loanee center-back Saïdou Sow and reserve defender Sekou Doucoure.
🟨 Referee and Yellow Cards
The main referee for the match is Marc Bollanger. In his last 14 Ligue 1 matches, he has averaged 2.8 yellow cards per game, distributing them equally between home and away teams.
The last head-to-head between Nantes and Auxerre ended with a yellow card count of 2:1 in favor of Nantes and a red card count of 0:1 in favor of Auxerre. At home, Auxerre averages 3.2 yellow cards per game (1.8-1.4 favoring the hosts). On the road, Nantes averages 3.7 yellow cards per game (1.6-2.1 favoring the visitors). Based on these statistics, a bet on under 3.5 yellow cards in the match seems reasonable.
⚽️ Goal Prediction
Auxerre have scored in 6 of their last 7 home matches. Nantes have conceded in their last 15 away Ligue 1 matches. Auxerre scored 2 goals against Nantes in their last home encounter. Considering these patterns, opting for a bet on Auxerre's individual total over 1 makes sense.
🚩 Corner Prediction
Nantes have taken fewer than 4.5 corners in 11 consecutive matches. Auxerre have taken fewer than 5.5 corners at home in 6 of their last 7 matches. The total of under 9.5 corners has hit in 6 of Auxerre's last 7 home games. Combining these trends, we suggest betting on total corners under 9.5.
Editorial Prediction
Given Auxerre's strong home advantage against Nantes, it's likely this trend of successful home performances against similar opposition will continue; it's also worth noting the defensive frailties of the visitors, who struggle to keep clean sheets. A bet on Auxerre's individual total over 1.5 goals seems reasonable due to Nantes' consistent record of conceding in away matches (15 consecutive games).No comments
