Fixture Analysis
It is a Ligue 1 clash, Regular Season - 29 as Auxerre welcome Nantes to Stade de l'Abbé Deschamps. Kick-off is set for Saturday 11 April 2026 at 18:00 UTC.
Recent Form
Across all Ligue 1 games this season, Auxerre have gone 2W 5D 3L from 10 outings — a 1.10 PPG return. Last five: D D L W D. They are averaging 0.90 goals per game and conceding 0.90 — a modest attacking output that tempers optimism on the Over 2.5 market. 4 clean sheets in 10 games (40%) reflects a solid defensive base. Both teams have scored in just 30% of their matches, indicating a tendency toward clean sheets or low-scoring outcomes.
Auxerre's form when playing at home: 2W 3D 5L across 10 games at Stade de l'Abbé Deschamps this term (0.90 PPG). At home they are averaging 0.90 goals scored and 1.10 conceded per game. 4 home clean sheets from 10 games (40%) — a solid defensive base on their own ground. At home, both teams have scored in only 20% of games — reinforcing BTTS No as the home-venue-backed angle.
Nantes — All Games: 1W 1D 8L from 10 Ligue 1 fixtures this season — 0.40 PPG. Last five: W L L L D. Their scoring rate of 0.80 per game is modest, conceding 1.70 — not a side to back heavily on the Over 2.5 from their form alone. 2 clean sheets from 10 outings suggests some defensive organisation. This season is still relatively young for Nantes, so this record blends games from this season and last.
When travelling in Ligue 1 this season, Nantes have posted 2W 3D 5L from 10 away outings — 0.90 PPG. Away from home they average 0.80 goals scored and 1.50 conceded per game. Their away PPG of 0.90 exceeds their overall 0.40 — they actually perform better on the road than their aggregate form implies.
Auxerre carry the stronger recent momentum — 0.70 PPG ahead of their opponents on 1.10 vs 0.40. The form data is a point in their favour, and where the price allows, it is the cleaner directional bet.
Head to Head
The rivalry is an even one: 1 wins apiece for Auxerre, 3 for Nantes and 1 shared spoils from 5 past contests. Neither side holds a meaningful historical edge.
These sides have historically produced few goals — 1.8 per contest from 5 previous meetings. The Under 2.5 market has a well-supported historical case here. The most recent clash, on 30 Aug 2025, ended 0–1 with Nantes winning.
With a balanced win record and just 1.8 goals per game historically, the H2H points toward a tight, low-scoring contest. Under 2.5 goals has the strongest statistical grounding from the fixture history regardless of which side wins.
In-Play Profile
Auxerre in-play tendencies (61 games, 30 at home): they score before half-time in 53% of fixtures in home games; when goalless at HT, a second-half goal follows 70% of the time; BTTS occurs in 37% of their matches (home games); Over 2.5 goals lands in 50% of games (home games); they fail to score in 36% of games.
Nantes in-play tendencies (61 games, 30 at away): they score before half-time in 73% of fixtures in away games; when goalless at HT, a second-half goal follows 76% of the time; BTTS occurs in 67% of their matches (away games); Over 2.5 goals lands in 50% of games (away games); they fail to score in 31% of games.
BTTS rates are mixed from the trading data — Auxerre 46% versus Nantes 57%; no strong lean in either direction. The over/under 2.5 picture is inconclusive from the in-play data (Auxerre 51% | Nantes 44%).
Poisson Model
The Poisson distribution model projects Auxerre 1.14 xG and Nantes 0.78 xG. These expected goals figures are the primary input: they feed a goal-probability matrix across all scoreline combinations to derive the result and market probabilities below. Underlying strength ratings: Auxerre attack 0.782 / defence 0.885 | Nantes attack 0.743 / defence 0.986. League average goals — home 1.482 / away 1.192. Auxerre's attack strength of 0.782 is below the league average — the 1.14 xG projection reflects a team that scores at a discount to the division norm. Data: 62 Auxerre games / 61 Nantes games used (CurrentSeason).
Result probabilities: Auxerre 44% | Draw 32% | Nantes 25%. Fair-value odds: Auxerre 2.27 | Draw 3.12 | Nantes 4.00. This is a low-confidence result — no outcome exceeds 45%. The draw at 32% is a primary outcome, not an afterthought.
Goals markets: Over 2.5 probability 30% | BTTS probability 37% | Total xG 1.93. Under 2.5 is the strongly backed market at 70% probability — total xG of 1.93 sits well below the 2.5 threshold. The model is projecting a tight, low-scoring match based on both sides' defensive quality. BTTS probability of 37% is moderate — neither team is projected to score with enough certainty to make Yes a clear standalone call.
Summary & Verdict
Nantes lead the H2H ledger, but Auxerre carry stronger current form — do not let history alone dictate your assessment.
The Poisson model's primary lean is Auxerre at 44% — marginal model lean. Current-season form corroborates the Poisson lean — partial multi-source support. With a 32% draw probability, Draw No Bet on Auxerre offers a more defensible entry point than the straight win.
The Poisson model projects 1.93 xG in total — Under 2.5 at 30% — strong confidence, supported by form averaging 2.1 goals per game and H2H averaging 1.8 goals per meeting.
On the BTTS market, Poisson puts 37% on No. Form rates corroborate: Auxerre 20% | Nantes 50% BTTS from recent games.

Nantes, meanwhile, have gone 12W 18D 31L across 61 games — 0.89 PPG, with W-L-L-L-D in their last five. The sample for Nantes is still a mix of this season and last, given how young the current campaign is.

📝 Match Report
How It Unfolded
Auxerre and Nantes finished level at 0-0 at Stade de l'Abbé Deschamps, Regular Season - 29, in the Ligue 1. That is the final score; the rest of this report grades it against what the data forecast beforehand.
The Model vs The Result
The Poisson model went into this projecting Auxerre 1.14 xG and Nantes 0.78 xG, a combined 1.93. The scoreboard read 0-0 for 0 actual goals. Auxerre fell 1.1 short of their projected output. Those figures were built on strength ratings of Auxerre attack 0.78 / defence 0.89 against Nantes attack 0.74 / defence 0.99, drawn from 62/61 games (CurrentSeason).
On the result, the model split it Auxerre 44% | Draw 32% | Nantes 25%, with Auxerre to win its most likely call at 44%. The actual draw had been the model's second-ranked read at 32%, so the result diverged from the top call without being a shock.
Goals & Markets
The model rated Over 2.5 goals at 30%. The game delivered 0, so it stayed under — the model's lean was correct. Over 1.5 had been 58% and missed. On both teams to score, the model sat at 37% and the match did not — another call in the model's favour. Historically the two sides average 48% Over 2.5 across their same-competition games (Auxerre 51%, Nantes 44%), a base rate that agreed with today's under. Their combined BTTS history runs at 52%, which did not match the one-sided outcome.
Trading Patterns vs Reality
Auxerre's trading profile (61 games, 30 home) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 46% of their matches — today it did not; they fail to score in 36% of games, a blank that repeated today.
Nantes's trading profile (61 games, 30 away) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 57% of their matches — today it did not; they fail to score in 31% of games, a blank that repeated today.
Form vs Result
The form lines were close — Auxerre 1.02 PPG, Nantes 0.89 PPG — offering no strong steer, and the draw fit that even billing. Auxerre (home/away splits) managed 0 against a 1.17 scoring average — below par going forward and conceded 0 against a 1.03 average — tighter than their form line. Nantes (home/away splits) managed 0 against a 1.00 scoring average — below par going forward and conceded 0 against a 1.77 average — tighter than their form line.
Verdict
Grading the result against the stored data, 2 of 3 pre-match signals came in: result (miss), Over 2.5 (hit), BTTS (hit). A mixed scorecard — the data caught the broad shape of the game but not every market.
