Auxerre Lens betting prediction


Betting suggestion:

Confrontation very balanced not so much for what they presented in the previous season, but for the current moment of both teams, that is, while the main team was very poor last season and was almost demoted, the visiting team went very well and almost gained access to League 1, but from there to here the performance of both have reversed, since besides the main team finished the competition well, they presented good results in their friendlies. On the other hand the visiting team ended the competition poorly and in the friendly it has not been presenting good football. So this game that at first sight seemed easy the victory of Lens, is complicated by the great moment of the team of Auxerre. And in that context we think the goal market is the right one, because both will want to start with the right foot and if they lose, they will not accept the defeat so easily, so there is the possibility of a game with goals. Therefore, for the current phase of the teams and not for the phase they presented last season, our bet for this event is Over 2.5 Goals.

Preview
Auxerre and Lens meet at Stade de l'Abbé Deschamps, in a match for the 1st round of the Ligue 2. The head‑to‑head record at this stadium favours the away team, since in the last 4 head‑to‑heads they won 3 and tied 1. Nevertheless, in the last head‑to‑head played at this stadium, for the Ligue 2, played on 18‑11‑2016, they tied (1‑1). G. Courtet (80' ) scored for Auxerre and Cristian López (40' ) for Lens. Both teams register significant differences between home and away results, so the home/away factor is worth atention.

Analysis Auxerre

The home team makes its debut in this edition of the competition, after having finished 17th last season. This is a team that usually gets better results in away matches than at home, since in the last 30 matches they register 7 wins, 3 draws and 5 losses in away matches, with 16 goals scored and 12 conceded; against 4 wins, 5 draws and 6 losses at their stadium, with 14 goals scored and 18 conceded. They come to this match after a home loss against Troyes by (1‑2). Auxerre has won 3, tied 3 and lost 4 of the last 10 home matches. Their offense has scored consistently, as they have scored goals in 8 of the last 10 matches.

Match valid for the first round of League 2, where last season the team finished in seventeenth position with 43 points won in 38 matches played, had 11 wins, 10 draws and 17 losses. They scored 28 goals, conceded 40 goals and got a negative score of 12 goals.

The team made a terrible campaign last season and was practically all the competition in the last positions of the table and thus always running the risk of entering the relegation zone, but they managed to escape, but not to suffer again the same scares, they need to do much better performances that they did in previous games. Its offensive system was the worst of the competition, but its defense very compact we can say that saved the team from relegation. Their performances at home were not the best, and their victories were always tight and scored at most two goals, had the problem that if they left behind in the marker, the turn was very unlikely. Away from home, they had pretty much the same performance. Its goal then is to present a better offensive performance, because with the good defense it has, it can finish this competition much better than the previous one.

The last match was a friendly at home against the Paris team and they applied one of the biggest routs of their history, if not the biggest, because they won the game by the score of 9-0. This shows that we can expect a lot more from Auxerre's team this season, and in this friendly again we highlight their great defense that remains consistent.

Confirmed Lineup: Zacharie Boucher, Bendjaloud Youssouf, Mickael Tacalfred, Vieux Yakhya Sane, Pierre-Yves Polomat, Jordan Adeoti, Romain Philippoteaux, Hamza Sakhi, Pape Sane, Mohamed Yattara.
Coach: Ludovic Obraniak, J. Furlan.

Analysis Lens

The away team makes its debut in this edition of the competition, after having finished 4th last season. This is a team that usually gets better results in away matches than at home, since in the last 30 matches they register 8 wins, 1 draw and 6 losses in away matches, with 28 goals scored and 21 conceded; against 7 wins, 3 draws and 5 losses at their stadium, with 20 goals scored and 17 conceded. In their last match, for the Club Friendlies, they got a home loss against Gent by (1‑3). In the last 10 away matches Lens has won 5, tied 1 and lost 4. Defensive consistency hasn’t been their best feature, as they have conceded goals in 7 of the last 10 matches, but their offense has scored consistently, as they have scored goals in 9 of the last 10 matches.

The team last season ended their participation in fifth place in League 2 with 65 points drawn in 38 matches played, had 18 wins, 11 draws and 9 losses. They scored 59 goals, conceded 40 goals and got the positive balance of 19 goals.

By little Lens did not get access to League 1, as they did a great League 2 championship last season and were only 2 points behind the Champion. This shows that it is a high quality team and so it goes back into the very focused competition to be able to access it this year. Its offensive system is very efficient and was among the best attacks of the championship, its defense also was one of the best of the competition. And with that panorama, they come again as favorites in the competition. Whether acting as a client or as a visitor, its consistency is the main quality of the team, besides being difficult to be defeated, as it has a consistent defense, its attack is very efficient and does not lose opportunities. Another point that we have to highlight, is if they leave the front in the marker, suffering the upset is something very difficult to happen.

His last match was a friendly at home against the Gent team and were defeated by the score of 1-3, incidentally, in that sequence of friendly that they did after the end of the season, the team did not do very well and did not win 4 games.

Confirmed Lineup: Jeremy Vachoux, Christos Tasoulis, Jean-Kevin Duverne, Maxence Carlier, Dusan Cvetinovic, Jean-Ricner Bellegarde, John Bostock, Thomas Ephestion, Mouaad Madri, Kevin Fortune, Ivan Lendric.
Coach: F. Haise.
