**These odds from Ladbrokes were correct at the time of writing**

Auxerre to score the first goal

We expect the first goal in this duel to come from Auxerre. The hosts haven’t disappointed in recent games, save for only one defeat in the last ten games. The performance of the visitors in the last ten outings is a sharp contrast to Pau’s performance in as many matches. Pau lost four of their last ten games and has twice suffered defeat against Auxerre.

Under 2.5

We think this will be a difficult game. In as much as we expect Auxerre to score first on matchday, Pau has proven difficult to break down. In the four losses from their last ten matches, Pau leaked at most one goal in three losses. The hosts scored in all the previous three duels against Auxerre hence should be keen to avoid defeat on home soil. We are tipping few goals at full-time.

One-sided scoreline

Another plausible outcome in this match is goals on one side. While both teams have struggled to keep clean sheets, we expect a difficult game on matchday. The visitors have leaked at most two goals in two of their last ten games.

Pau

Pau is 15 points shy of tip five. And with six games to play, it is unlikely that the hosts will make it to top five. The hosts have suffered from inconsistencies, which should worry them in this duel against in-form Auxerre. We don’t expect the hosts to win this game. The best result they can get from this match, perhaps due to home advantage, is a draw.

Auxerre

The visitors have a chance to get direct promotion to Ligue 1 next season. Auxerre is only two points shy of second place hence a win in this duel against Pau will be instrumental in that quest. Based on how Auxerre has performed recently, we have our bet on them to win massively on matchday.
