Auxerre vs Rennes – Betting Analysis
According to the data for their previous encounters dating back to February 14, 2010, there hasn’t been much of a difference between the teams, with AJ Auxerre winning two of them and Rennes winning two and drawing two of them in regular time.
During those matches, the two teams scored a total of 12 goals between them, with 4 from AJA and 8 from Rennes. This results in an average of two goals being scored per contest.
Prior to this league encounter, on Match Day 7 of Ligue 1 on September 11, 2022, Rennes defeated AJ Auxerre 5-0. Rennes had 48% of the game’s possession and nine of its twelve attempts on goal were successful.
The goal scorers were Matthis Abline (85′), Martin Terrier (68′), Flavien Tait (79′), Amine Gouiri (60′), and Kamaldeen Sulemana (3′). Three of AJ Auxerre’s seven attempts at goal were successful. Thomas Leonard served as the match’s arbitrator.
AJ Auxerre manager Christophe Pélissier only has one fitness-related worry out of a nearly fully healthy group of players. Elisha Owusu is unable to participate due to a hamstring injury.
We anticipate that AJA will likely start Ionut Radu, Rayan Raveloson, Jubal, S. Isaak Toure, Akim Zedadka, Han-Noah Massengo, Birama Toure, Gideon Mensah, Siriki Dembélé, Gauthier Hein, and Matthis Abline in a 3-4-2-1 configuration.
Bruno Génésio, the manager of Rennes, is dealing with a number of scheduling conflicts. Martin Terrier (ruptured cruciate ligament), Xeka (injured ankle), Hamari Traoré (knock), Lorenz Assignon (knee injury), and Xeka (injured ankle) are all out due to cruciate injuries.
Using Steve Mandanda, Djed Spence, Joe Rodon, Arthur Theate, Adrien Truffert, Jérémy Doku, Baptiste Santamaria, Benjamin Bourigeaud, Karl Toko Ekambi, Arnaud Kalimuendo, and Amine Gouiri, we predict Rennes may opt to play with a 4-4-2 configuration.
We believe that AJ Auxerre will need to perform well to get past Rennes’ defense, who we predict will win and very likely maintain a clean sheet.
