>Auxerre vs Angers SCO Prediction & Betting Tips – 29/08/2026
Auxerre welcome Angers SCO to the Stade de l'Abbé Deschamps on Friday evening for a Ligue 1 fixture carrying real relegation significance. Both sides sit in the bottom half of the table, with the hosts in 17th and their visitors two places above in 15th, yet neither can afford complacency at this stage of the campaign. A home victory could provide crucial breathing space for Auxerre, while Angers arrive in Burgundy desperately seeking a result to arrest a wretched run of form that has seen them collect just one point from their last five outings.
Match Analysis
Auxerre enter this Ligue 1 Round 2 fixture as home favourites at 1.95, backed by two consecutive H2H victories over Angers SCO, including a commanding 3-1 win at Stade de l'Abbé Deschamps as recently as May 2026.
- 3-1 home win over Angers on 2026-05-03 confirms clear recent H2H dominance.
- LWWWL form sequence shows Auxerre capable of stringing wins together at home.
- Two straight home H2H victories (3-1 and 1-0) provide strong psychological momentum.
- Angers have scored in zero of their last five matches, easing defensive pressure on Auxerre.
Angers SCO arrive at 4.00 as clear outsiders, sitting 15th in Ligue 1 on the back of a dismal LDLLL run across their last five matches. Belkebla's absence through thigh surgery further depletes an already thin travelling squad.
- LDLLL in last five matches: Angers have not won in their most recent five outings.
- Zero wins in recent away fixtures against Auxerre, losing both 2024-25 encounters.
- Belkebla ruled out with thigh surgery, compounding existing squad depth concerns for Angers.
Key point: With both squads heavily depleted and Angers struggling to score, the double chance covering Auxerre or a draw pairs well with cautious low-scoring expectations at 3.50.

Our Verdict
Auxerre's home form provides the backbone of our selection, with three wins from their last four at the Stade de l'Abbé Deschamps before a final-day stumble. Angers, by contrast, have managed just one point from their previous five away outings, a dismal sequence that inspires little confidence. The most recent head-to-head saw Auxerre claim a convincing 3-1 victory on this very ground. At 1.95, the home win offers fair value given the visitors' fragile travelling record. Our pick: Auxerre to win at 1.95. Odds correct at time of publication.
