Auxerre, Recent FormIn their previous league fixture, Auxerre managed a remarkable 3-0 away win against Ajaccio. Their share of possession in that meeting was 43%, while racking up 11 shots along the way, 4 of which were on target, in contrast to Ajaccio, who had 9 shots on goal with 2 on target.
They have amassed a limited number of points from their last 6 matches, despite only letting in 3 goals; this has been primarily due to their indifferent form in front of goal with 6 goals spread across those 6 matches. Consistency in front of goal has been a problem for them at home recently, having failed to score in 4 of their last 6 games. With a defensive record of 4 clean sheets in their last 6 matches, they can certainly claim to be hard to beat.
Their form has to be regarded as good of late with 5 matches unbeaten from their last 6 and 3 wins bagged along the way.
Nantes, Recent FormNantes will be reasonably happy to come away from their match against Monaco with a 2-2 draw and a valuable point. In that game they recorded 49 % of the possession, with 9 attempts on goal, 2 on target. Their opponents found the target on 10 of their 16 shots on goal.
They have bagged 7 goals in their last 6 matches but haven't taken the points they might have hoped for, primarily due to some indecisive defending that has seen their goal breached 13 times in that period. Chalking up goals on the road is something their fans have become accustomed to, with them hitting the net in 5 of their last 6 matches. They have shown some resilient performances away from home of late with 3 clean sheets in their last 6 matches away from home.
Results wise, their recent poor run of form has left them without a win in 7 games.
On an individual basis, Ludovic Blas will be looking to cause Auxerre some problems having scored 3 goals in Nantes' last 6 away games in the league.
The last time these sides were pitched against each other in the league, it ended in a 1-0 win for Nantes.
Les Canaris will be confident of finding the net in this one against Auxerre, with an impressive scoring record of at least 1 goal in their previous 6 encounters between the two sides.
In the league, Auxerre have not won any of their last 4 meetings with Nantes.
Auxerre manager Christophe Pélissier has some team selection issues to consider ahead of this match. Gideon Mensah (Knee), Elisha Owusu (Achilles tendon) and Kays Ruiz-Atil (Illness) are all currently out of contention for this game.
Antoine Kombouaré has a number of injury concerns in his Nantes squad to contend with: Fabien Centonze (Hamstring), Pedro Chirivella (Groin), Rémy Descamps (Thigh), Nicolas Pallois (Ankle) and João Victor (Gastrointestinal discomfort)
