Auxerre vs Angers SCO Preview
Auxerre begin their home campaign at the Stade de l'Abbe Deschamps under new manager Will Still, who faces an immediate defensive headache. Christ Makosso's red card in the opening round contributed to a bruising 5-2 loss against Lens, with four goals conceded after his dismissal. Sitting 17th, Still must reorganise his backline with several players unavailable. The silver lining is that Auxerre won their previous three home fixtures against Angers, including a convincing 3-1 result last season.
Angers travel to Burgundy in equally desperate need of points after a frustrating 0-2 defeat to Lille on matchday one. Stephane Gilli's side managed 20 shots but put only two on target, exposing a glaring finishing problem. Currently 16th, Angers have lost three of their last four matches across all competitions, and their away form reads poorly. Despite winning their last two league visits to this ground, the visitors look short of attacking solutions right now.
Auxerre's double chance selection covers both a home win and a draw, and the reasoning starts with their dominance in this specific fixture at the Stade de l'Abbe Deschamps. They have won their last three home meetings against Angers, including a convincing 3-1 result in May. The home win price at 1.93 reflects that advantage, making the 1X combination a sensible route into this match.
Angers arrive in wretched form, having lost three of their last four across all competitions. Their opening-day defeat to Lille exposed a glaring finishing problem: 20 shots attempted but only two on target. Stephane Gilli's side lack offensive solutions, and that inefficiency makes it difficult to see them claiming all three points on the road against a side with clear home pedigree in this fixture.
Defensive fragility is the one concern for Auxerre after conceding five against Lens, though four of those came following Makosso's red card. With a full complement minus the suspended centre-back, Still's side should be far more organised. Both teams to score at 1.05 merits consideration given those defensive questions, but the primary recommendation remains 1X, backed by Auxerre's home record and Angers' chronic attacking struggles. Odds correct at time of publication.
