Alexandre Dujeux's side has secured only two victories this season, against Lorient and Paris. Due to these poor results, the club is in 14th place, just one point away from the relegation zone. In the previous round, the team visited Lille and unsurprisingly lost 0-1. However, before that, Angers went unbeaten in three consecutive league matches (1 win and 2 draws).
- The club has failed to win in 10 of their last 11 Ligue 1 matches (4 draws and 5 losses).
- No more than two goals have been scored in 10 of Angers' last 12 league matches.
- At home, the team has only 1 defeat in their last 6 Ligue 1 matches (3 wins and 2 draws).
Predicted lineup for Angers (5-3-2)

Christophe Pélissier's team has lost their last three league matches without scoring. At home, they were defeated by Le Havre and Marseille (both 0-1), and away by Strasbourg (0-3). Auxerre has not tasted victory in Ligue 1 for six matches now (1 draw and 5 losses). The club is at the bottom of the table, but only two points away from the safety of 15th place. Auxerre also has the lowest goal tally in the league, with just 7 goals.

Match Prediction: Angers vs. Auxerre
This is a highly unpredictable match, with both teams at the lower end of the table, having won only two matches each after 11 rounds. The clubs score few goals while conceding quite a few. Therefore, it is unlikely that we will see a high-scoring game in this encounter.
In their last 6 home matches in Ligue 1, Angers has scored more than one goal only once. During this series, the club has conceded no more than one goal on five occasions. Auxerre has also struggled to score away from home, failing to find the net in 3 of their last 4 away league games. Last season, the teams faced each other twice in Ligue 1 and exchanged home victories with scores of 2-0 and 1-0.
My prediction – Total under 2.5 goals
