Strasbourg Team Analysis
The club played its two most recent championship fixtures away from home and managed to secure only 1 point. Liam Rosenior’s squad first drew with PSG (3:3), then suffered a 1:2 defeat to Lyon. Consequently, the team dropped out of the European qualification zone, though not by a significant margin, and remains just 4 points behind the league leader.

Christophe Pélissier’s men have been unable to secure a victory for four consecutive matches in . During this challenging run, the team lost at home to Lens (1:2) and Le Havre (0:1), and away to PSG (0:2), while managing a 2:2 draw with Rennes. With such results, the club cannot realistically aim for anything significant and has, as expected, fallen into the relegation zone. Additionally, it should be noted that Auxerre’s matches average 2.2 goals, marking one of the lowest scoring rates in the championship.

Strasbourg vs Auxerre Match Prediction
The odds offered for the home team’s victory are quite favorable, and I strongly recommend capitalizing on them. After all, had Strasbourg secured wins in their last two matches, they would currently be topping the French championship table. While the club has indeed suffered three defeats, all of these losses came against superior opponents. The challenging schedule of tough fixtures is now behind them, providing Liam Rosenior’s side with an excellent opportunity to reduce the gap to the league leader.
Key Betting Points for Strasbourg
Auxerre has been underwhelming so far. The club’s low scoring rate has undoubtedly cost them valuable points. It is precisely in this offensive aspect that the visitors are likely to be outmatched by Strasbourg in the upcoming fixture. Furthermore, in 3 out of their 4 away matches in , Auxerre conceded at least two goals. In contrast, Strasbourg has scored two or more goals in 10 of their last 14 home games in the championship. It’s also worth noting that Auxerre lost all 3 of their most recent head-to-head encounters in .
My prediction is – “Strasbourg to Win” with odds of 1.72
