Main Match Prediction

We’ve found some value by selecting Auxerre +1 at odds of -102 for this Ligue 1 game. This bet looks really appealing based on the numbers and we’re happy to take this price with confidence.

Key stats supporting our main match prediction (league matches):

• The +1 line has been covered by Auxerre in 4 of their last 5 games.
• The +1 line has been covered by Auxerre in 8 of their last 10 games.
• The +1 line has been covered by Auxerre in 3 consecutive games.
• The -1 line hasn’t been covered by Lens in 4 of their last 5 games.
• The -1 line hasn’t been covered by Lens in 7 of their last 10 games.
• The -1 line hasn’t been covered by Lens in 5 of their last 6 games against Auxerre.

The first step involves analysing the form and also getting an idea of the injury situation before making any football picks. Then it’s a case of consulting the latest Ligue 1 stats and seeing if they can inform our opinion.

According to the top betting sites, our pick has a 50.5% chance of landing a return. However, we think that the probability sits between 55-60% taking all factors into consideration. It is therefore regarded as a value wager.

If you’re searching for a larger price, then there’s the opportunity to move the line. Select from a host of choices and get paid out if your selection lands.
