Best Tip: Under 3.5 goals

We think it's unlikely that this game will deliver 4+ goals, and the odds and statistics align with our predictive algorithm on this one. Auxerre and Nantes haven't typically treated their fans to thrillers of late, whether that be in Ligue 1 individually or when going head-to-head. So, without a strong favourite WDW or double chance market, we're going for under 3.5 goals. That's available at a best price of 1.22.
