Auxerre's recent sequence reads LWDDL across their last five, including a heavy 5-2 defeat to Lens and a 2-1 loss to Orleans sandwiched around draws with Estac Troyes and Sochaux. Angers, by contrast, have shown more bite in front of goal, winning three of their last five with victories over Paris FC, Lorient and Creteil, though defeats to Lille and Le Mans show they remain inconsistent.
The two clubs have met five times recently, with the most recent meeting in May 2026 producing a 3-1 scoreline in the current home side's favour, while Angers won 2-0 the last time they visited in November 2025. Hakim Ben El Hadj Salem takes charge of a fixture between two teams both still without a win this season.
Angers arrive with three wins from their last five outings, a marked contrast to Auxerre's single win in the same span.
League scoring trends suggest goals have flowed fairly freely across the division this season, with 74% of matches producing more than 1.5 goals.
