✍️ Match Preview
Fixture Analysis
It is a Ligue 2 clash, Regular Season - 9 as Auxerre welcome Rodez to Stade de l'Abbé Deschamps. Kick-off is set for Saturday 30 September 2023 at 18:00 UTC.
Form Analysis
Looking at all fixtures this season, Auxerre stand at 4W 4D 2L from 10 Ligue 2 matches — 1.60 PPG. Last five: D W D W W. They are averaging 2.00 goals per game — a high-scoring output that makes them a genuine attacking threat in any fixture. 2 clean sheets from 10 outings provides some defensive foundation. Both teams have scored in 70% of their games — a high BTTS rate that carries real weight in the goals markets. This season is still relatively young for Auxerre, so this record blends games from this season and last.
At home at Stade de l'Abbé Deschamps, Auxerre have gone 3W 4D 3L this season (10 games, 1.30 PPG). At home they are averaging 1.30 goals scored and 1.10 conceded per game. BTTS has landed in 60% of their home matches — a rate that supports the Yes angle in this fixture.
Rodez — All Games: 4W 3D 3L from 10 Ligue 2 fixtures this season — 1.50 PPG. Last five: L D W W W. They are scoring at 1.60 per game and conceding 1.30. Both teams have scored in 80% of their matches this season — one of the stronger BTTS rates in the division, making Yes a well-evidenced play. This season is still relatively young for Rodez, so this record blends games from this season and last.
When travelling in Ligue 2 this season, Rodez have posted 4W 3D 3L from 10 away outings — 1.50 PPG. Away from home they average 1.50 goals scored and 1.10 conceded per game. BTTS has landed in 60% of their away games — meaningful support for the Yes angle in this specific context.
The form comparison is too close to call — 1.60 PPG (Auxerre) versus 1.50 (Rodez). When the figures are this level, no pick can be reliably derived from recent results alone.
The BTTS market is worth targeting here. Auxerre register both teams scoring in 60% of relevant matches, Rodez in 60% (using home/away splits) — both sides above the 60% threshold gives BTTS Yes firm statistical grounding.
Head to Head
There is little to separate the sides historically. From 2 previous meetings, Auxerre have won 2, Rodez 0, with 0 draws — a balanced ledger that offers no obvious directional steer on its own.
The 2 previous meetings have averaged 2.5 goals per game — a neutral rate that provides no strong lean on the goals market from the H2H alone. The most recent clash, on 5 Mar 2022, ended 3–1 with Auxerre winning.
The head-to-head offers no strong directional steer in either the result or goals markets. Form, the predictive model and current market pricing should carry more weight than the historical record for this fixture.
In-Play Data
Auxerre trading profile (45 games, 22 at home): they score before half-time in 68% of fixtures in home games; when goalless at HT, a second-half goal follows 75% of the time; BTTS occurs in 50% of their matches (home games); Over 2.5 goals lands in 41% of games (home games).
Rodez trading profile (45 games, 22 at away): they score before half-time in 41% of fixtures in away games; when goalless at HT, a second-half goal follows 81% of the time; BTTS occurs in 46% of their matches (away games); Over 2.5 goals lands in 36% of games (away games); they fail to score in 36% of games.
BTTS rates are mixed from the trading data — Auxerre 58% versus Rodez 53%; no strong lean in either direction. The over/under 2.5 picture is inconclusive from the in-play data (Auxerre 51% | Rodez 40%).
Poisson Model
The Poisson distribution model projects Auxerre 1.34 xG and Rodez 1.11 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 1.079 / defence 0.980 | Rodez attack 1.076 / defence 1.004. League average goals — home 1.238 / away 1.050. Data: 8 Auxerre games / 45 Rodez games used (CurrentSeason).
Result probabilities: Auxerre 42% | Draw 27% | Rodez 31%. Fair-value odds: Auxerre 2.38 | Draw 3.70 | Rodez 3.23. This is a low-confidence result — no outcome exceeds 45%. The draw at 27% is a primary outcome, not an afterthought.
Goals markets: Over 2.5 probability 44% | BTTS probability 49% | Total xG 2.45. Under 2.5 has a narrow probability edge at 56% — total xG of 2.45 is below the line but not decisively so. BTTS probability of 49% is moderate — neither team is projected to score with enough certainty to make Yes a clear standalone call.
Our Verdict
Poisson rates Auxerre as the most likely outcome at 42% — marginal model lean. With a 27% draw probability, Draw No Bet on Auxerre offers a more defensible entry point than the straight win. The opposing side holds a 31% win probability per the model — this is not a banker and should be staked accordingly.
The Poisson model projects 2.45 xG in total — Under 2.5 at 44% — Poisson-only — limited corroboration confidence.
On the BTTS market, Poisson puts 49% on No. This conflicts with form data: Auxerre 60% | Rodez 60% from recent games — a notable divergence.
The outsider holds a 31% win probability per the model — this is not a banker and should not be treated as one. Proportionate stakes are appropriate given the genuine contest the data projects.

Model Mechanics
The model rates Auxerre's attack at 1.08x the league average against Rodez's defence at 1.00x — combine the two and it projects 1.34 expected goals for the hosts. The same calculation in reverse, Rodez's attack versus Auxerre's defence, projects 1.11 expected goals for the visitors.

📝 Match Report
How It Unfolded
Auxerre beat Rodez 3-1 at Stade de l'Abbé Deschamps, Regular Season - 9, in the Ligue 2. The remainder of the report sets that outcome against the pre-match model, the markets and the teams' data profiles.
The Model vs The Result
The Poisson model went into this projecting Auxerre 1.34 xG and Rodez 1.11 xG, a combined 2.45. The scoreboard read 3-1 for 4 actual goals. Auxerre beat their projection by 1.7 — clinical relative to the chances the model priced in. Those figures were built on strength ratings of Auxerre attack 1.08 / defence 0.98 against Rodez attack 1.08 / defence 1.00, drawn from 8/45 games (CurrentSeason).
On the result, the model split it Auxerre 42% | Draw 27% | Rodez 31%, with Auxerre to win its most likely call at 42%. The result followed the model's preferred path, landing its top-rated outcome.
Goals & Markets
The model rated Over 2.5 goals at 44%. The game delivered 4, so it went over — against the model's lean. Over 1.5 had been 70% and landed. Over 3.5 was 23% and came in. On both teams to score, the model sat at 49% and the match saw both sides score — a miss on BTTS. Historically the two sides average 46% Over 2.5 across their same-competition games (Auxerre 51%, Rodez 40%), a base rate that pointed the other way from today's over. Their combined BTTS history runs at 56%, which matched the both-scored outcome.
Trading Patterns vs Reality
Auxerre's trading profile (45 games, 22 home) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 58% of their matches — today it did.
Rodez's trading profile (45 games, 22 away) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 53% of their matches — today it did.
Form vs Result
The form lines were close — Auxerre 1.11 PPG, Rodez 1.27 PPG — offering no strong steer, and the Auxerre win broke the near-deadlock. Auxerre (home/away splits) scored 3 against a 1.00 average — above their attacking norm. Rodez (home/away splits) shipped 3 against a 1.00 concession average — a leakier day than usual.
Verdict
Grading the result against the stored data, 1 of 3 pre-match signals came in: result (hit), Over 2.5 (miss), BTTS (miss). This one broke away from the data — most of the pre-match signals were overturned by how the ninety minutes actually played out.
