Correct score prediction: Auxerre 1-1 Strasbourg
Auxerre ended a dismal 11-match winless streak across all competitions by masterfully dispatching Olympique de Marseille by a whopping 3-0 score line. The morale is expected to be bubbling in the Auxerre camp, as they look to earn consecutive wins for the first time since November 2024.
On the other hand, Liam Rosenior’s side were given a steady check by a Brest outfit sitting below them in the league table. The goalless stalemate ended their two-game winning run – expect Auxerre to give the visitors a similar run for their money away from home.
Pre-game odds and win probability: Bookies back Strasbourg
- HOME: 9/5 (2.80) – 35.7%

*odds from Ladbrokes, subject to change
Auxerre undoubtedly come into this clash as underdogs, but their famous whitewash of Les Olympiens pushes their odds to 9/5 (2.80) – suggesting a 35.7% win probability. They will look to bounce back to winning ways, but overcoming a hungry Strasbourg side aiming for the top six is no easy task.
The visitors failed to find the back of the net for the second time in five outings, as a lowly Brest shut them out successfully. Firing another blank will not only upset their three-match unbeaten streak, but also extend their two-point gap behind the top six. Bookmakers back Strasbourg to get back to winning ways, with a 44.4% win probability assigned to them
