Bookmaker Ratings prediction one – Home win – 2.48.
Bookmaker Ratings prediction two – Both to score – 1.83.
All stats leading to this match are in favor of Auxerre. They are certainly the better side and undefeated in their last 9 matches. Thus, we don’t see them having any difficulty on Friday.
In addition, Auxerre players will be confident ahead of the first-leg fixture as they have lost only one of the previous 23 h2h meetings.
Meanwhile, Les Verts are fighting to stay in Ligue 1 for what would be their 19th consecutive year in the top flight.
We think they will do their best to score at least one goal by relying on counter attacks.
Auxerre have a great opportunity to return to Ligue 1 after a ten-year absence.
Les diplomates have finished in 3rd place in Ligue 2, missing out on direct promotion by just one point. Meanwhile, Auxerre beats Sochaux on penalties last Friday to progress to the final of this Ligue 1 relegation play-off.
In addition, Auxerre are in good shape with a run of five consecutive wins at home.

It has been a disappointing month for Les Verts, and they will be quite nervous for the upcoming clash.
Moreover, they are in a worrying form losing 4 of their previous 6 matches. Even worse is the fact that they have conceded 15 goals in those fixtures.
