Three Punchy Stats
- Auxerre have averaged 1.7 goals across their last 10 league matches, nearly three times Angers’ 0.6, giving the hosts a clear recent advantage in attacking efficiency.
- Angers have conceded 7.2 shots on target per game across their last 10 Ligue 1 fixtures, compared with Auxerre’s 4.3, suggesting their defensive problems extend well beyond the opening defeat.
- Auxerre are unbeaten in five successive home league matches, while Angers have gone 10 Ligue 1 games without a victory. Those two runs make Stade de l’Abbé-Deschamps a particularly demanding place for the visitors to search for a response.
Shot Accuracy Comparison
Recent attacking records for Auxerre and Angers are shown below.
Defensive Stability
Recent defensive records for Auxerre and Angers are shown below.
Auxerre’s 5-2 loss at Lens was an exercise in defensive disorder, featuring two conceded penalties and the highest foul count in Ligue 1 after matchday one. Angers, beaten 2-0 by Lille, carried a more familiar problem: creating enough danger without converting it.
That distinction matters. Auxerre have substantial repairs to make without the ball, but their recent attacking and home records offer genuine encouragement. Angers must show that their problems in the final third are capable of easing.
Auxerre’s Home Record Changes the Mood
Will Still’s first league match in charge could scarcely have gone worse defensively. Auxerre were repeatedly caught out of position at Lens and conceded five, ending the three-match winning run with which they had finished their previous campaign.
One heavy defeat should not erase what has happened at home, though. Auxerre are unbeaten in their last five Ligue 1 matches at Stade de l’Abbé-Deschamps and have won three of their previous four domestic home fixtures. They are also seeking a third successive victory in their opening home league match of a season.
Their longer-term numbers support the idea that they possess enough attacking output to recover. Across their last 10 league games, Auxerre have averaged 1.7 goals from 10.5 attempts and 4.3 shots on target. That is considerably more efficient than Angers, whose 10.6 attempts have produced only 2.7 efforts on target and 0.6 goals per match.
Angers Are Producing Too Little Reward
Angers’ possession against Lille reached 57%, but only two shots found the target. That fits a broader pattern rather than looking like an isolated bad afternoon.
They were the joint-lowest scorers in Ligue 1 last season with 29 goals and missed four big chances on the opening weekend, the second-highest total in the division. There is opportunity creation in those figures, but not enough end product.
Their last 10 league matches make the concern starker. Angers have failed to win any of them, drawing four and losing six while averaging just 0.6 goals. They have also conceded 2.0 per game from 16.2 opposition attempts and 7.2 shots on target.
That combination is uncomfortable: too little attacking reward at one end and sustained pressure being allowed at the other.
The First Goal Could Carry Extra Weight
Angers’ away record adds another layer. They are winless in four Ligue 1 matches on the road and have not scored in the first half of an away league game during 2026. They have also managed no more than one goal in any of those fixtures.
Auxerre therefore have an obvious incentive to make their home advantage count early, although their own defensive problems cannot simply be ignored. Christ Makosso is suspended, Bryan Okoh remains out with a cruciate ligament injury and Marvin Senaya could again miss out because of a hamstring problem.
Angers are without Louis Mouton as he recovers from a meniscus injury, while Jacques Ekomie has left for Wrexham. Anthony Lopes, Branco van den Boomen and Amine El Ouazzani all made their Angers league debuts against Lille.
Recent meetings offer both sides something. Angers have won two of the last three Ligue 1 encounters, yet Auxerre won the most recent meeting 3-1 at home and remain unbeaten there against Angers in top-flight meetings this century.
⚖️ Other opportunities in this market
- Match Result (Auxerre Win @ 21/20): Settles solely on Auxerre being ahead after 90 minutes. It avoids the requirement for Angers to score, accepting a lower price in return for covering clean-sheet victories like 1-0 or 2-0.
- Both Teams to Score – YES (@ 4/5): Wins if both teams score at least once, regardless of which side wins or if the game ends in a draw. It trades away match-winner precision for broader scoreline coverage.
- Over 2.5 Total Goals (@ 1/1): Requires three or more total goals scored in the match. It wins on scorelines such as 2-1, 3-0, 2-2, or 1-2, removing team-specific outcomes while remaining vulnerable to low-scoring contests.

🎯 Pick 1: Auxerre to win and both teams to score @ 16/5
Auxerre return to Stade de l’Abbé-Deschamps seeking to extend an impressive home run that offers direct contrast to their defensive collapse at Lens. Will Still’s side are unbeaten in their last five Ligue 1 matches on home turf, winning three of their final four domestic home fixtures last term. Across their last 10 league matches overall, Auxerre averaged 1.7 goals per game from 10.5 total attempts, generating 4.3 shots on target per contest. That attacking baseline faces an Angers defence that has repeatedly struggled to limit opposition chances over a sustained period. Angers have conceded 2.0 goals per match across their previous 10 Ligue 1 fixtures, allowing an average of 16.2 opposition attempts and 7.2 shots on target.
The interaction between Auxerre’s forward efficiency and Angers’ defensive vulnerability supports the home win element of this market. Angers arrive winless in 10 league outings, having lost six of those matches. However, Auxerre’s own defensive issues mean a clean sheet is far from assured. Auxerre conceded five goals on opening weekend while committing the highest foul count in Ligue 1 and giving away two penalties. Furthermore, Angers produced 57% possession against Lille and missed four big chances, demonstrating an ability to work the ball into dangerous areas despite failing to score.
Defensive absences further complicate Auxerre’s backline stability, with Christ Makosso suspended and Bryan Okoh sidelined. With Angers creating entries but Auxerre maintaining superior home momentum, a victory for the hosts alongside goals at both ends provides a compelling alignment with the match dynamics.
🎯 Tactical Indicators
- Auxerre are unbeaten in five straight home league matches and won three of their final four domestic home fixtures last season.
- Angers yielded 2.0 goals per game and 7.2 shots on target per match across their last 10 Ligue 1 fixtures.
- Auxerre conceded five goals in their opening fixture at Lens while Angers generated four missed big chances against Lille.
Risk Factor: This selection fails if Auxerre keep a clean sheet or if Angers exploit defensive absences to draw or win.
Key Tactical Mismatch
Averaging 1.7 goals from 4.3 shots on target over their last 10 league matches while remaining unbeaten in five at home.
Conceding 2.0 goals and 7.2 shots on target per match across their last 10 Ligue 1 fixtures without a win.
⚔️ Pick 2: Auxerre vs Angers 3-1 @ 14/1
A 3-1 home win aligns with both recent performance data and recent head-to-head precedent at Stade de l’Abbé-Deschamps. Auxerre’s capacity to score three goals is supported by their long-term attacking output alongside Angers’ sustained defensive issues. Auxerre have averaged 1.7 goals per match across their last 10 league games, while Angers have conceded 2.0 goals per fixture over their past 10 Ligue 1 outings. Angers also face 7.2 opposition shots on target per game, providing Auxerre with ample opportunity to exploit backline gaps. Notably, Auxerre defeated Angers by this exact 3-1 scoreline in their most recent meeting on home soil.
The single goal for Angers is equally grounded in supplied match facts. Auxerre displayed severe defensive instability during their 5-2 loss at Lens, conceding twice from the penalty spot while recording the highest foul total in the league. With central defender Christ Makosso suspended and Bryan Okoh injured, Auxerre’s defensive structure remains unsettled. Angers missed four big chances on opening weekend despite failing to score against Lille, proving they can create high-quality opportunities. However, Angers have scored no more than one goal in any of their last four away league matches, making a single consolidation goal plausible.
While correct-score selections are inherently sensitive to single moments, the combination of Auxerre’s home strength and Angers’ away scoring limit makes 3-1 a coherent scoreline scenario.
Risk Factor: The 3-1 scoreline is vulnerable to a single goal difference; clean sheets or extra goals break the bet.
