Prediction: 2-1
Auxerre
Sunday’s football game at Stade Raymond-Kopa pits together Angers and Auxerre, the two mid-table sides. Les Scoistes aim to build on back-to-back wins over Brest and Montpellier and they are likely to adopt yet another attack-minded approach against Auxerre. A man to keep an eye on in the home team will be Esteban Lepaul, who scored a brace in the relegation six-pointer at the weekend, while fellow forward Justin-Noel Kalumba continues to miss out with an ankle problem.
Christophe Pelissier’s troops, on the other hand, are on a five-game winless run in all competitions. As Angers made a flying start to 2025, we predict that the visitors are going to return home with their hands empty. In the first half of the season, Auxerre defeated Angers thanks to Hamed Junior Traore’s late goal, meaning that the hosts are hungry for revenge. Defender Paul Joly is banned for the visiting side.
