My Prediction
Angers by 1Alright, cats and kittens, let's be real here we are opening Pandora’s box of a matchup today – Angers vs Auxerre. Field of dreams or a Midsummer night’s nightmare, only the 90 minutes may tell.
Looking at the goals-on-the-net we’ve got Yahia Fofana from Angers, whose gloves have been busy, posting solid 7.60 rating and 6 saves. From the otherside of the pitch, Théo De Percin, the wall from Auxerre putting up similar numbers, showing a 7.50 rating and the same number of saves. I swear, I see a cat among pigeons here.
On the players' side, we can't turn a blind eye to Auxerre’s shining knights Gaëtan Perrin and Jubal, hosting good numbers with 7.40 and 7.20 ratings respectively. Despite the lack of goals, their accuracy in passing is above average. But, oh dear, poor old Paul Joly, the lad's on the injury list. Distressing, I know. Now let’s take a gander at Angers' warriors, Esteban Lepaul and Zinedine Ferhat, just rolling in with ratings of 7.55 and 7.30. Boy, these chaps certainly know how to boot a leather with 3 and 1 goals under their belts. But wouldn’t you know it? Carlens Arcus and Haris Belkebla are possibly out of the picture having landed themselves on the injury list. Bit of a pickle there I dare say.
The past is always a hoot to consider. Auxerre and Angers have had two tangles in the recent past, with a victory going to Auxerre and a tie game. The suspense, people, oh the suspense.
Regular season records are a bit of a mixed bag with the Auxerre holding a 6-4-7 record and Angers counter punching with a bit lower 5-4-8 record.
Looking at recent performance, Auxerre has been just as inconsistent as a cat on a hot tin roof, while Angers seems to be recovering from a downward swing. One step forward, two steps back and around we go. Seems the momentum has shifted to Angers, having secured two recent victories.
So here it goes, will our brave hearts of Angers prevail or will it be the mighty Auxerre shouting in the field of victory? After considering all these factors, it's time for the prediction.
