Match Analysis

Rennes has experienced a mixed bag of results in their last three outings, securing a comprehensive 3-0 win against Angers, but suffering defeats against Lens and Paris SG. Despite their inconsistent form, they have managed to keep clean sheets in three of their last five matches, showcasing a resilient defense at times. Their attack, however, has been less prolific, averaging just 0.8 goals per game in their recent performances, which could be a concern against a competitive Auxerre side. Auxerre, on the other hand, has shown better form with two wins and a draw in their last three fixtures. Their victories against Montpellier and Reims, both without conceding, highlight their defensive solidity. Auxerre has also been slightly more effective in front of goal, averaging 1.4 goals per game over their last five matches. Their ability to keep clean sheets, similar to Rennes, could play a crucial role in this encounter.

Final Prediction

Rennes' higher probability of winning is likely due to their home advantage and a sturdy defensive record in recent matches. However, Auxerre's recent form and ability to secure clean sheets may pose a significant challenge. Key to watch will be Rennes' ability to convert their expected goals into actual ones, as this might be the decisive factor in breaking down Auxerre's defense.
