Lille vs Auxerre Prediction

Total Goals (O/U 1.5)

Over 1.5

While Under 2.5 goals is favored, a 2-0 scoreline (our exact score prediction) still results in Over 1.5 goals. Given Lille's attacking strength at home against Auxerre's defense, at least two goals in the match is a reasonable expectation.

Total Goals (O/U 3.5)

Under 3.5

With both teams showing a strong tendency for low-scoring games and an 'Under 2.5 Goals' prediction, it is highly improbable that the match will see 4 or more goals. Under 3.5 goals is a very confident pick.

1st Half Goals (O/U 0.5)

Over 0.5

While a low-scoring game is expected overall, both teams have shown a propensity to score or concede in the first half. Lille scores 26% of their goals in the first half, and Auxerre scores 56% of theirs. It's common for at least one goal to be scored before halftime in Ligue 1.

First Team to Score

Home

Lille, playing at home and being the stronger attacking side, is much more likely to open the scoring against an Auxerre team that struggles to create chances and score, especially away from home.

Goal in Both Halves

No

Given the expectation of a low-scoring match (Under 2.5 goals) and a predicted score of 2-0, it's plausible that all goals could occur in one half, or that one half is goalless. 'No' is slightly favored over 'Yes'.

Most Likely Score

2-0

Based on Lille's average home goals (1.53) and Auxerre's average away goals conceded (1.69), combined with Auxerre's low scoring rate away (0.88) and Lille's strong home defense, a 2-0 victory for Lille is the most plausible exact score.

BTTS 1st Half

No

With an overall BTTS 'No' prediction and a low-scoring expectation, it's highly unlikely that both teams will manage to score in the first half alone.

xG Based (O/U 2.5)

Under 2.5 xG

Given the strong statistical indication for Under 2.5 actual goals and Auxerre's low attacking output, it's reasonable to infer that the combined Expected Goals (xG) for the match will also be under 2.5.

Double Chance

1X

Lille is a strong favorite at home against a struggling Auxerre side. The API-Sports prediction also suggests 'Lille or draw', making '1X' a very safe bet with high confidence.

Draw No Bet

Home

Given Lille's superior form, home advantage, and league position, they are the clear favorites to win. A Draw No Bet on Home offers protection in case of an unlikely draw, but a straight home win is expected.

HT/FT

Home/Home

Lille is expected to dominate from the start at home. Given their strong form and Auxerre's struggles, it's likely Lille will lead at halftime and maintain their advantage to win the match.

Total Corners (O/U 9.5)

Over 9.5

Ligue 1 matches generally average around 9-10 corners. With Lille pushing for goals and Auxerre likely defending deep, there should be enough attacking play and clearances to generate a moderate number of corners.

Total Cards (O/U 3.5)

Over 3.5

Lille averages 2.2 yellow cards per match, and Auxerre averages 2.06. A combined average of over 4 cards suggests that exceeding 3.5 cards is likely, especially in a match where Auxerre will be fighting relegation and Lille for European spots.

Shots on Target (O/U 8.5)

Over 8.5

Lille, as the dominant home team, will likely generate a significant number of shots on target. Auxerre, even if defensive, will likely have a few attempts. This combined effort should push the total over 8.5.

Total Shots (O/U 22.5)

Over 22.5

Lille will be on the offensive, taking many shots. Auxerre will also attempt shots, even if fewer, contributing to a total that should exceed 22.5.

Total Fouls (O/U 22.5)

Over 22.5

Ligue 1 matches are often physical. With Auxerre fighting relegation and Lille pushing for European qualification, the intensity of the game is likely to result in a higher number of fouls.

Possession Winner

Home

As the stronger team playing at home and expected to dominate, Lille will likely control the majority of possession throughout the match.

Lille Clean Sheet

Yes

Lille has a strong home defense, keeping clean sheets in 40% of their home games. Auxerre struggles to score away, failing to do so in 50% of their away matches, and has only managed one away clean sheet all season. It's highly probable Lille will keep a clean sheet, while Auxerre will not.

Auxerre Clean Sheet

No

Lille has a strong home defense, keeping clean sheets in 40% of their home games. Auxerre struggles to score away, failing to do so in 50% of their away matches, and has only managed one away clean sheet all season. It's highly probable Lille will keep a clean sheet, while Auxerre will not.
