Angers vs Auxerre prediction: Scoistes to edge past Auxerre
Key stats
- Angers have won just twice in their opening 11 Ligue 1 fixtures.
- Les Scoistes have only one clean sheet across their last 10 games.
- Only Lyon (159) have been fouled more than Auxerre (156) this season.
- AJA have failed to score in their last three fixtures.
Correct score prediction: Angers 1-0 Auxerre
Angers’ three-match unbeaten run came to an end last matchday, as Lille beat them by a one-goal margin – inflicting their fifth defeat of the season. With 10 points in their coffers after 11 rounds, they now possess the same number of points at this stage as last season.
On the other hand, Auxerre have endured a dismal three-match losing streak. Like Angers, Christophe Pelissier’s men have enjoyed only two victories this season, and will be eager to turn things around as they lie at the bottom of the Ligue 1 table.
Despite their loss to Lille, Angers seem to have some momentum in their favour. Expect the visitors to return home without a point in this early season relegation six-pointer.

Player to watch: Sidiki Cherif
Cherif found the net in each of Angers’ last three unbeaten games against Monaco, Lorient and Marseille, although he fired a blank in his side’s 1-0 loss to Lille. The enigmatic 18-year-old forward could prove significant if Angers are to get back to winning ways and add to their points tally.
