Head-to-head statistics Nantes - Auxerre
Nantes Team Overview
🟡 Nantes are grappling with financial difficulties, making it tough for the team to secure positive results. Their transfer activity has been almost nonexistent, leaving them with minimal reinforcements. Luis Castro is forced to work with the current squad, which doesn't always include players of the highest caliber.
🟢 In the opening two rounds of Ligue 1, Nantes suffered defeats without scoring a single goal. It started with a home loss to PSG (0-1), followed by an away defeat against Strasbourg (0-1). Over these two matches, Luis Castro's side managed just two shots on target and recorded an xG of only 0.55.

Auxerre Team Overview
🔵 Auxerre had a tough preseason in terms of results, with Christophe Pelissier's side suffering several losses, even against less formidable opponents. However, the Ligue 1 campaign kicked off positively for the "Blues" with a 1-0 home victory over Lorient. This win significantly boosted the morale of both players and the coaching staff, though they couldn't maintain that momentum.
⚪ In the second round, Auxerre traveled to face Nice and put in a commendable performance, but ultimately fell short with a 3-1 defeat. Notably, the "Burgundians" played the entire second half with ten men after Donovan Leon was sent off in added time of the first half. Despite being a man down, Auxerre showed resilience, creating dangerous chances and testing the opposition's goal. The result was disappointing overall, but the performance left a positive impression.

🟥 Auxerre's first-choice goalkeeper Donovan Léon will miss the upcoming clash with Nantes due to suspension. In the previous round against Nice, he received a red card and was sent off the field.
❌ Sinaly Diomandé and Telli Sive are still recovering from injuries sustained during preseason training and will not be able to assist their teammates in the match against Nantes. They are expected to return to the squad by the middle of next month.
🟨 Referee and Yellow Cards
Stéphanie Frappart has been appointed as the main referee for the upcoming match. Over her last 100 matches, she has issued 363 yellow cards, averaging 3.63 per game. In their last ten games, Nantes average 2.1 yellow cards per match, while Auxerre average 2.7. Considering the statistics of both the teams and the referee, a bet on total yellow cards over 3.5 is worth considering.
⚽️ Goals Prediction
This season, Nantes have yet to score against their opponents and have conceded only twice. Auxerre's scoring record isn't much better, with 3 goals scored and 3 conceded. Given both teams' tendency for low-scoring encounters, including their head-to-head meetings, we suggest betting on total goals under 3.
🚩 Corner Kicks Prediction
In their last 10 matches, Nantes have averaged 3.7 corners, while Auxerre have averaged 4. In the previous round, both teams combined for 10 corner kicks. Based on these statistics, a bet on total corners under 10.5 seems reasonable.
Editorial Prediction
Nantes are facing significant issues with their attacking lineup-there simply aren't any players fit for top-tier French football at the moment. Auxerre, on the other hand, already secured a win this season, and their match against Nice could have ended differently if not for a red card incident. We believe the upcoming match will see the visitors claim a 2-0 victory, so we suggest betting on Auxerre to avoid defeat.
