Our predictions for Auxerre vs Angers SCO
Match Prediction: Auxerre 1-1 Angers SCO
Auxerre come into this at home with a run of results that suggests they are competitive, but not always able to turn control into wins. Angers SCO have been harder to trust, especially after conceding three against Paris Saint Germain and five against Lens, although they have also shown they can keep things tight in draws. With Auxerre’s recent home clean sheet against Nantes and Angers SCO’s 0-0 against Olympique Lyonnais, this could be a fairly measured contest rather than an open one.
The head-to-head record leans towards Angers SCO in the most recent meetings, with two 2-0 wins over Auxerre in 2025. Even so, Auxerre did beat Angers SCO 1-0 in November 2024, so there is enough evidence for a close game if they stay organised. Match Prediction: Auxerre 1-1 Angers SCO
Form Guide & Team Overview
Auxerre
Auxerre’s recent league form has been steady rather than spectacular, with one win, three draws and one defeat in their last five. They held Monaco to a 2-2 draw away from home and also kept Nantes out in a 0-0 draw at home, which points to a side capable of staying in games.
Their only defeat in that run was a narrow 2-3 loss to Olympique Lyonnais, so they have not been far away from a better return. The 3-0 home win over Brest is the standout result in the sequence and shows they can be effective when they get on the front foot.
Recent Ligue 1 Results:
- Loss: 2-3 vs Olympique Lyonnais (A)
- Draw: 2-2 vs Monaco (A)
- Draw: 0-0 vs Nantes (H)
- Draw: 1-1 vs Le Havre (A)
- Win: 3-0 vs Brest (H)
Angers SCO
Angers SCO’s recent league results have been mixed, with no wins in their last five and only two draws to show for it. They drew 1-1 with Le Havre at home and 0-0 with Olympique Lyonnais at home, which suggests they can be difficult to break down on their day.
The concern is the size of some of the defeats, particularly the 0-3 loss to Paris Saint Germain and the 1-5 defeat to Lens. They also lost 1-2 away to Rennes, so their away form has not offered much reassurance.
Recent Ligue 1 Results:
- Loss: 0-3 vs Paris Saint Germain (H)
- Draw: 1-1 vs Le Havre (H)
- Loss: 1-2 vs Rennes (A)
- Draw: 0-0 vs Olympique Lyonnais (H)
- Loss: 1-5 vs Lens (A)
Head-to-Head Record
The recent head-to-head record has favoured Angers SCO, who beat Auxerre 2-0 in both November 2025 and January 2025. Auxerre’s best recent result in the series was a 1-0 home win in November 2024, so they have shown they can get the better of this fixture at times. The earlier meetings were tighter, including a 1-1 draw in February 2023 and a 2-2 draw in August 2022. Overall, the pattern points to Angers SCO having had the upper hand lately, but not by a huge margin.

Lineups & Tactical Setup
Auxerre (4-2-3-1)
Predicted lineup: Théo De Percin (Goalkeeper), Bryan Okoh (Defender), Gideon Mensah (Defender), Marvin Senaya (Defender), Sinaly Diomandé (Defender), Danny Namaso (Midfielder), Elisha Owusu (Midfielder), Fredrik Oppegård (Midfielder), Kévin Danois (Midfielder), Romain Faivre (Midfielder), Lassine Sinayoko (Attacker)
Auxerre’s predicted 4-2-3-1 should give them a solid base through the two holding midfielders, while allowing the three advanced midfielders to support Lassine Sinayoko between the lines. If Danny Namaso and Romain Faivre can help link play quickly, Auxerre should be able to move Angers SCO around and create chances from central areas.
Angers SCO (5-3-2)
Predicted lineup: Hervé Koffi (Goalkeeper), Abdoulaye Bamba (Defender), Emmanuel Biumla (Defender), Jacques Ekomié (Defender), Jordan Lefort (Defender), Lilian Raolisoa (Defender), Branco van den Boomen (Midfielder), Haris Belkebla (Midfielder), Pierrick Capelle (Midfielder), Amine Sbaï (Attacker), P. Peter (Attacker)
Angers SCO’s predicted 5-3-2 looks built to stay compact, with the wing-backs helping to protect the back line and limit space for Auxerre’s wide players. In possession, the shape should also give Amine Sbaï and P. Peter a platform to break forward quickly if Angers SCO can win the ball and spring transitions.
Key Battles & Players to Watch
- Lassine Sinayoko vs Abdoulaye Bamba: this looks like a key duel between Auxerre’s main attacking outlet and one of Angers SCO’s central defensive leaders.
- Danny Namaso vs Branco van den Boomen: this midfield battle could shape the tempo, with Danny Namaso needing to help Auxerre progress play against Branco van den Boomen’s control.
- Lassine Sinayoko (Auxerre): he is key because he starts in the attacking role in Auxerre’s predicted shape and will be central to turning their possession into chances.
- Amine Sbaï (Angers SCO): he is key because he has been used as one of the two forwards in Angers SCO’s recent 5-3-2 setups and offers their clearest route to goal.
