Auxerre vs Troyes Prediction & Match Preview

• Auxerre go into this on the back of successive wins over Caen and Ajaccio.
• Troyes scored just once in the last five away outings in the league.
• Six of the last seven matches Auxerre played in Ligue 2 ended with fewer than three goals scored.

After a run of three straight winless affairs, Auxerre returned to winning ways with back-to-back successes against Caen and Ajaccio. These wins moved Chris Pelissier’s troops five points clear at the top of the Ligue 2 standings. Auxerre are seven points above third-placed Saint-Etienne and they hold the pole position in the battle for the automatic promotion to Ligue 1.

Pelissier’s men will have a nice opportunity to make it three wins on the spin on Monday evening. They will drop the curtain on Matchday No 31 with the home clash against relegation-threatened Troyes at Stade de l’Abbe Deschamps.

Troyes sit just two points above the relegation area. They suffered a 2-3 home defeat to Rodez last Saturday. David Guion’s men conceded three first-half goals on the occasion. The loss terminated the team’s run of three straight unbeaten affairs.

• On top of form, Auxerre have recent tradition to back them up in this matchup. They won three and drew one of the last four clashes against Troyes.
• Auxerre picked up a 2-1 victory in the return game played in September last year at Stade de l’Aube.
• Only one of the previous four head-to-head matches provided three or more goals.

Auxerre vs Troyes Prediction

It is very hard to look past the home win pick here. Auxerre are the sovereign Ligue 2 leaders. They’ll go into this on the back of successive wins over Caen and Ajaccio in the last two rounds. They are up against relegation-threatened Troyes who have just shipped three first-half goals in an unpleasant home defeat to Rodez last Saturday. Also, Auxerre go into this on the back of three wins and a draw in the last four H2H clashes with Troyes. We will back the hosts to have the lead at the half time and win the match at the end at the 2.20 odds.

The value is fantastic with the Under 2.5 goals pick at the 2.20 odds. Six of Auxerre’s last seven league outings ended with fewer than three goals scored. The same scenario happened in three of Troyes’ previous four league matches. Also, just one of the last four head-to-head encounters between these rivals saw three or more goals scored.
