✍️ Match Preview

Pre-Match Analysis

Toulouse and Auxerre meet at Stadium de Toulouse in Ligue 1, Regular Season - 33. This fixture gets under way on Saturday 22 May 2027 at 15:00 UTC.

Current Form

Toulouse's overall Ligue 1 record this term: 3W 2D 5L from 10 games (1.10 PPG). Last five: W W L D L. They are averaging 1.20 goals per game and conceding 1.90 — a modest attacking output that tempers optimism on the Over 2.5 market. 1 clean sheet from 10 outings provides some defensive foundation. Both teams have scored in 60% of their games — a high BTTS rate that carries real weight in the goals markets. Toulouse have played only a handful of Ligue 1 games so far this season, so this record also draws on matches from last season.

Toulouse's form when playing at home: 3W 3D 4L across 10 games at Stadium de Toulouse this term (1.20 PPG). At home they are averaging 1.10 goals scored and 1.30 conceded per game.

Auxerre have collected 1.20 PPG across 10 Ligue 1 outings this season: 3W 3D 4L. Last five: W W L L L. They are scoring at 1.60 per game and conceding 1.90. 2 clean sheets from 10 outings suggests some defensive organisation. 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. Auxerre have played only a handful of Ligue 1 games so far this season, so this record also draws on matches from last season.

When travelling in Ligue 1 this season, Auxerre have posted 2W 4D 4L from 10 away outings — 1.00 PPG. Away from home they average 1.50 goals scored and 1.80 conceded per game. Both teams have scored in 70% of their away matches — a high BTTS rate on the road that directly informs this fixture.

A near-identical PPG reading — 1.10 for Toulouse, 1.20 for Auxerre — means the form record is uninstructive on result selection. The goals and market sections will carry greater evidential weight.

H2H Analysis

Historically, Toulouse have had the better of this match-up — 4 wins from 8 meetings, with Auxerre managing just 1 victories and 3 draws shared.

These two sides have produced goals at a consistent rate historically, averaging 2.9 per game across 8 meetings. That scoring profile provides genuine support for the Over 2.5 angle. The most recent clash, on 1 Feb 2026, ended 0–0 with a draw.

From a betting standpoint, the H2H backs both Toulouse and goals. The home side's 4 wins from 8 meetings, combined with an average of 2.9 goals per game, gives the home win and Over 2.5 combination a historically grounded case.

Trading Data

Toulouse goal-timing and half-time pattern breakdown (36 games, 19 at home): they score before half-time in 58% of fixtures in home games; when goalless at HT, a second-half goal follows 82% of the time; BTTS occurs in 37% of their matches (home games); Over 2.5 goals lands in 47% of games (home games); they fail to score in 33% of games.

Auxerre goal-timing and half-time pattern breakdown (36 games, 19 at away): they score before half-time in 74% of fixtures in away games; when goalless at HT, a second-half goal follows 54% of the time; BTTS occurs in 53% of their matches (away games); Over 2.5 goals lands in 47% of games (away games); they fail to score in 44% of games.

BTTS rates are mixed from the trading data — Toulouse 47% versus Auxerre 47%; no strong lean in either direction. The over/under 2.5 picture is inconclusive from the in-play data (Toulouse 53% | Auxerre 50%).

Poisson Model

The Poisson distribution model projects Toulouse 1.53 xG and Auxerre 1.41 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: Toulouse attack 0.747 / defence 1.030 | Auxerre attack 1.034 / defence 1.364. League average goals — home 1.502 / away 1.327. Toulouse's attack strength of 0.747 is below the league average — the 1.53 xG projection reflects a team that scores at a discount to the division norm. Auxerre bring a strong defensive rating of 1.364 — this is suppressing Toulouse's projected output below what their attack strength alone would suggest. Data: 36 Toulouse games / 37 Auxerre games used (Blended). A blend of current and prior-season data is applied to stabilise estimates early in the campaign.

Result probabilities: Toulouse 39% | Draw 28% | Auxerre 34%. Fair-value odds: Toulouse 2.56 | Draw 3.57 | Auxerre 2.94. This is a low-confidence result — no outcome exceeds 45%. The draw at 28% is a primary outcome, not an afterthought.

Goals markets: Over 2.5 probability 56% | BTTS probability 61% | Total xG 2.94. Over 2.5 holds a meaningful probability edge at 56% — the 2.94 total xG provides moderate support, though the model is not projecting a high-scoring game. BTTS Yes at 61% reflects that both xG figures (1.53 / 1.41) are above the threshold where scoring blanks become the primary outcome — both sides are projected to find the net.

Final Verdict

Poisson rates Toulouse as the most likely outcome at 39% — marginal model lean. Draw probability of 28% warrants consideration of Double Chance or Draw No Bet on Toulouse if the outright odds are short. The opposing side holds a 34% win probability per the model — this is not a banker and should be staked accordingly.

On the goals line, Poisson's 2.94 combined xG gives a 56% probability to Over 2.5 — strong, supported by form averaging 2.8 goals per game and H2H averaging 2.9 goals per meeting.

The Poisson model's BTTS call is Yes at 61%. Form rates corroborate: Toulouse 40% | Auxerre 70% BTTS from recent games.

The outsider holds a 34% 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. The Poisson model is drawing on Blended data (36 games minimum) — early-season projections carry additional uncertainty. Weight the live form and odds signals accordingly.
