Nantes vs Auxerre

Ligue 1 · 30 August 2025

Prediction: Bet: Nantes to Win by Exactly 1 Goal

Probability: 60%

Why

Why this bet: This pick capitalizes on Nantes' proven ability to defeat Auxerre (2 H2H wins) while acknowledging their general low-scoring nature and Auxerre's capacity to keep games competitive. Nantes won their last H2H at home 2-0 and away 2-1. Their average goals scored (1.5) and low xG (0.81) suggest they are not a team that typically achieves large winning margins. Auxerre, despite their H2H struggles, has a decent scoring record (1.6 G/M) and a higher xG (1.08) than Nantes, implying they can find the net and prevent a blowout. This combination points to a narrow victory for Nantes if they continue their H2H dominance.

Supporting stats
