Auxerre

Auxerre enter this match with positive momentum, having claimed three wins in their last four matches, including a 3-1 victory at Le Havre last time out. Le Mans, on the other hand, have lost three consecutive fixtures and are winless away from home with one draw and two losses. Le Mans are also missing key attacking midfielder A. Bourabaa due to an ankle injury. Given that Le Mans have failed to keep a clean sheet in all seven league matches while Auxerre have scored in every game, backing Auxerre to take at least a point provides a well-supported path.

Le Havre hold a solid head-to-head record against Auxerre, remaining unbeaten across their last four direct encounters with three victories and one draw. While Le Havre sit bottom of the standings with two points and have scored just one goal in three home games, Auxerre have struggled badly away from home. The visitors have lost all three road fixtures this season, conceding 12 goals at an average of four per game. With Auxerre missing key defenders including M. Senaya and B. Okoh through injury, Le Havre are well placed to secure at least a point on home soil.

Rennes have avoided defeat in all three of their home league outings this season, collecting two wins and a draw with an average of two goals scored per match. In contrast, Auxerre have lost both of their away games while conceding eight goals, an average of four goals against per away fixture. Auxerre are also depleted by seven confirmed absences, including the suspension of C. Makosso and injuries to players like A. Diousse and S. Fofana. Covering both the home victory and the draw provides sensible security given the potential for close tactical encounters in Ligue 1.

Auxerre come into this fixture on a three-match losing streak in Ligue 1, having conceded 11 goals in their last three league outings against Lens, Angers, and Lyon. In contrast, Stade Brestois 29 are unbeaten in their two away league games this campaign, scoring four goals in the process. With Brest's attack led by K. Doumbia producing consistently and Auxerre struggling to keep clean sheets, the visitors hold a solid foundation to secure at least a point on the road.

Auxerre have experienced both teams scoring in 100 percent of their league matches this season, scoring four goals while conceding 11 across three fixtures. Nice have struggled for offensive output with only one goal scored, but Auxerre's average of 3.7 goals conceded per game provides opportunities for the visitors. Additionally, eight of the previous ten head-to-head meetings between Auxerre and Nice have seen both sides score, making both teams finding the net a well-supported outcome.

Lyon enter this match undefeated in league play with a win and a draw, while Auxerre have lost both of their opening fixtures. In head-to-head records at home against Auxerre, Lyon have won three and drawn two of five meetings without suffering a defeat. Auxerre are also dealing with extensive squad absences across their defensive and midfield units.

Auxerre have conceded eight goals across their two league matches this season, an average of 4.0 goals against per game, with their away fixture at Lens producing seven goals. Head-to-head history reinforces high goal volume, with 80 percent of the last ten meetings between these clubs producing over 2.5 goals at an average of 3.1 goals per match.

Auxerre have shown significant defensive vulnerability in the early season, allowing five goals away at Lens and three at home against Angers. In their previous head-to-head encounter in April 2026, Lyon scored three goals in a 3-2 victory, and the visitors have seven players sidelined heading into this match.

These two calls are about different parts of the match (double chance and total goals), so neither one determines the other. The figure shown is the lower of the two — a combo can never be more likely than its weaker leg.
