Auxerre will be aiming to get back to winning ways when they host struggling FC Nantes in what looks like a tight Ligue 1 encounter. As Les Canaris do not seem to be at their sharpest, we predict a 1-0 home win. Auxerre have been inconsistent (1.1 PPG), but their defensive numbers are respectable, conceding just 0.9 goals per game and keeping clean sheets in 40% of matches. The return of first-choice goalkeeper Donovan Leon is a big boost, especially considering they have failed to score in 60% of their games.Nantes, meanwhile, are in poor form with just 0.4 points per game and no wins in their last 10 matches. Their attacking issues are evident, scoring only 0.8 goals per game and failing to score in 50% of away matches. With defender Tylel Tati suspended, their defensive stability could also suffer. Historically, this fixture tends to be low-scoring, with only 25% of meetings going over 2.5 goals.
