Head-to-head statistics Auxerre - Toulouse
Auxerre Team Overview
🔵 This season, Auxerre have only managed to secure points in one match, defeating Lorient 1-0 in the opening round of Ligue 1. Since then, Christophe Pélissier's side have struggled to find their form, suffering defeat after defeat, which has seen them slip to 15th place in the standings, perilously close to the relegation zone.
⚪ In their most recent outing, Auxerre hosted Monaco and had a chance for a remarkable comeback despite being a man down. However, a late goal dashed their hopes, resulting in a 2-1 loss. Statistically, Pélissier's men were outplayed: possession (33% to 67%), shots on target (2 to 3), corners (5 to 8), and xG (0.69 to 1.46). It's worth noting that Auxerre have scored just three goals this season, one of which was an own goal by their opponents.

Toulouse Team Overview
🟣 Toulouse have kicked off the current season in style, securing back-to-back victories over Nice (1-0) and Nantes (2-0). Every line of the team excelled during these matches: a potent attack with numerous shots on goal and a solid defense that opponents struggled to break. However, the fixture list soon presented tougher challenges!
🔴 In their last two outings, Carles Martinez's squad faced off against league heavyweights PSG and Lille. Despite putting up a valiant fight, they fell 3-6 and 1-2, respectively. In the clash with Les Dogues, Toulouse could have picked up points; they held the lead until Alexis Vossa's red card left them vulnerable, allowing two goals past the Violets. Overall, Toulouse's performance in these recent rounds was impressive, even if it didn't translate into points on the table.

In the last five matches, the yellow card stats for the teams are as follows: Auxerre averages 2.4 per game, while Metz averages 2. Both teams tend to receive a fair number of cautions, making a bet on total yellow cards over 4 a reasonable choice.
⚽️ Goal Prediction
In the current French championship, Auxerre scores an average of 0.75 goals per game. The team has actually netted only two goals, with one being credited as an own goal. Christophe Pelissier's squad struggles in attack, so an abundance of precise strikes is unlikely. We suggest considering a bet on Auxerre's individual total under 1.5.
🚩 Corner Prediction
This season, Auxerre has delivered 22 corners, averaging 5.5 per game. Toulouse's numbers are slightly lower, with 18 corners earned (4.5 on average per match), but it's important to note that "Les Violets" recently faced PSG and Lille. Both teams frequently take corners, so we're placing a bet on total corners over 8.5.
Editorial Prediction
Auxerre are currently on a three-game losing streak with an almost non-existent attack-goals are rare and hard-fought when they do come by. Toulouse have secured two victories this season and put in two commendable performances against top-table teams. Overall, Carles Martinez's squad leaves a very positive impression, and we predict the visitors will clinch a 2-1 win in the upcoming match. For betting purposes, we've opted for a safer choice than just a win-Toulouse to avoid defeat.
