Whispers Predicts: Auxerre vs Angers
Auxerre have kept a first-half clean sheet in five of their last six Ligue 1 home games. Backing them to win the first-half at 6/5 is a valuable bet.
Both teams to score – Yes a 11/10 makes sense, with both outfits desperately needing points. There is a lot at stake in this bottom-of-the-table clash.
Lassine Sinayoko is Auxerre’s top-scorer this term with eight goals. He also has three assists to his name. At 8/5, Sinayoko to score or assist anytime offers clear value.
Under 2.5 total goals at 4/6 also provides dividends. Both sides are in poor form, and this is not expected to be a goal-fest.
> Auxerre to win the first-half at 6/5 | Likelihood: Very Likely
> Both teams to score – Yes a 11/10 | Likelihood: Very Likely
> Sinayoko to score or assist anytime at 8/5 | Likelihood: Possible
> Under 2.5 total goals at 4/6 | Likelihood: Probable
