Angers vs Auxerre prediction: FRANCE: Ligue 1 betting tips on match 2025-11-08 16:15.
[p]With both Angers and Auxerre starting the round inside the bottom five, their clash on Sunday has the potential to be deemed as an early-season relegation âsix-pointerâ.[/p]
[p]Match News and Current Form[/p]
[p]With ten points on the board after 11 Ligue 1 matches (W2, D4, L5), Angers have the exact same record as they did at the same stage last season. That campaign ended in a 14th-place finish, so they wonât be too fearful of facing the drop just yet, but they know their position could be much more uncomfortable if they fall to a second home league defeat of the season here (W2, D2). Theyâll be under no illusions that whatever the outcome here, theyâre in for a season-long battle against the drop having not spent a single penny in the summer transfer market, but the chance to post back-to-back home league wins within the same season for the first time since January could give fans something to shout about in the short term here.[/p]
[p]Bottom of the table and without a win since round five (D1, L5) after losing their last three games without scoring, Auxerre begin this round three points behind their hosts. They were beaten 1-0 by European-chasing Marseille last weekend, and finding a response on the road seems unlikely for a side who are winless in their five away league games this term (D1, L4). That record has almost certainly contributed to Auxerreâs return of seven points after 11 Ligue 1 games (W2, D1, L8) serving as their lowest-ever tally at this stage, and three scoring blanks from their last four top-flight road trips hardly inspire hope of things improving here.[/p]
[p]Head-to-Head History[/p]
[p]Angers have never lost at home to Auxerre (W6, D5), a record which history suggests will improve here considering the away side on the day hasnât won any of the eight H2Hs between the sides in Ligue 1.[/p]
[p]Hot Stats and Streaks[/p]

[p]Key Players to Watch and Missing Players[/p]
