Auxerre play host to Angers in a Ligue 1 game at the Stade de I'Abbe-Deschamps this Sunday. Auxerre currently sit in ninth place in the table, while Angers are in 15th, just above the danger zone.

Auxerre vs Angers Head-to-Head and Key Numbers

• Due to both of these sides spending some recent time in Ligue 2, games between them have been relatively rare in recent years. Since 2022, they have played four times, with three matches ending in draws and the other being a win for Auxerre. Angers have not won this fixture since 2015.
• Despite a sticky start to their campaign that saw them lose three games in a row, Auxerre were on a roll before the international break. Their last two games saw them blow Rennes away 4-0, before defeating high-flyers Marseille in a major upset.
• This month also saw Angers spring a bit of a surprise, as they defeated Monaco 0-1 despite the latter side pushing for a title challenge. In their last match before the international break, however, Paris St. Germain proved to be too much and brushed them aside 2-4.
• Despite their mid-table status, Auxerre have been remarkably potent in front of goal this season. They have scored 20 thus far, with only three teams producing more goals.
• Angers, worryingly, boast one of Ligue 1's worst defensive records this season. They have conceded 20 goals, with only three sides conceding more, two of whom are in the relegation zone.

Auxerre vs Angers Prediction

While both of these teams came into the international break in good form, it's probably fair to say that Auxerre have a little more momentum.

The home side have won four of their last six matches while only losing one, and their win over Marseille was seriously impressive.

Angers are capable of an upset in their own right, though - just ask Monaco - and while they have let in a lot of goals, they have also only failed to score in one of their first 11 matches.

This one could go either way, but the prediction is a score draw.

Prediction: Auxerre 1-1 Angers
