Auxerre host Le Mans in Ligue 1 on Sunday, and the Auxerre vs Le Mans betting odds make the hosts the moneyline favorite at -150 (Polymarket).
Auxerre arrive with momentum after a 3-1 win at Le Havre last weekend. Danny Namaso scored twice and Romain Faivre also found the net.
Le Mans sit 16th in the standings, and their last outing was ugly. Toulouse left their place with a 3-0 win, so confidence is in short supply.
Auxerre own this head-to-head with four wins in the previous meetings. Le Mans have won just once, and the other meeting ended in a tie.
Auxerre vs Le Mans Recent Results
Auxerre have yet to tie a Ligue 1 game, so their outings tend to end decisively. The Le Havre win showed what Namaso and Faivre bring behind Cameron Archer, and through balls are this team's sharpest weapon. They have won 5 of their last 10 games against all opponents.
Le Mans have managed just a single win across their last seven outings against all opponents, and too many ties have left them in the bottom half. Counter attacks are their best route to goal, backed by long balls and long shots, but they are fragile defending set pieces. Losing the in-form Adil Bourabaa hurts badly.
Auxerre vs Le Mans Lineups & Team News
Injuries & Suspensions
Auxerre: Assane Diousse (Injured/out), Bryan Okoh (Injured/out), Marvin Senaya (Injured/out), Telli Siwe (Injured/out), Remy Labeau Lascary (Injured/out), Sekou Fofana (Injured/out), Rayan Mandengue (Injured/out)
Le Mans: Adil Bourabaa (Injured/out), Erwan Colas (Doubtful), Martin Rossignol (Doubtful), Harold Voyer (Doubtful)
Auxerre
The Auxerre treatment room is crowded. Assane Diousse and Bryan Okoh are long-term absentees with cruciate ligament injuries, while Marvin Senaya (thigh), Telli Siwe (hamstring) and Remy Labeau Lascary (muscle) are out until mid-November. Sekou Fofana and Rayan Mandengue are sidelined with groin problems. The good news for the Auxerre vs Le Mans lineups is that Archer, Namaso and Faivre are all available.
Le Mans
Le Mans are without Adil Bourabaa, who is out with an ankle injury and not expected back until January. That is a major blow, since the forward had found the net in each of his previous three Ligue 1 outings. Harold Voyer, Erwan Colas and Martin Rossignol are all doubts, and Voyer matters most because he is projected to start in the back three.

Auxerre vs Le Mans Prediction & Best Picks
Our Prediction
Our Auxerre vs Le Mans prediction is a home win in an open game. Auxerre have the sharper attack, with Archer leading the line and Namaso arriving in form, while Le Mans are missing a key scorer in Bourabaa. The projection gives Auxerre a 43.35% win probability, the highest of the three outcomes. Le Mans can find a goal on the counter, but Auxerre have more ways to hurt them.
Best Picks
Over 2.5 goals in the Total Goals Over/Under market. Both teams defend counter attacks poorly and both like to shoot from range, which is a recipe for a messy afternoon. There have also been over 2.5 goals in 6 of Auxerre's last 7 games in Ligue 1.
Auxerre to win, in the Moneyline market. Our Auxerre vs Le Mans best picks lean on the home side, who are undefeated in their last 5 home games against Le Mans in all competitions. The visitors rank 16th on recent form, and the hosts simply carry more threat in the final third.
Auxerre vs Le Mans Same Game Parlay
Our Auxerre vs Le Mans Same Game Parlay picks pair Auxerre's attack with goals and a card: Archer to score, Djibril Sidibé carded, Namaso on target and over 3.5 goals.
Cameron Archer, Anytime Goalscorer: the striker has found the net in four of his past five Ligue 1 outings and leads the line again, so backing him to score is a straightforward call.
Djibril Sidibé, To Be Shown A Card: a yellow has followed him in three of his previous four Ligue 1 appearances, and this matchup features two sides who play an aggressive style.
Danny Namaso, Over 0.5 Player Shots On Target: he has registered a shot on target in six of his last seven Ligue 1 games, and Auxerre love to shoot from distance.
Over 3.5 goals, Total Goals Over/Under: Auxerre have cleared this mark in five of their seven most recent outings. It is the stretch leg, but neither defense handles counter attacks well.

Auxerre vs Le Mans Talking Points
The key battle is Auxerre's through balls against a Le Mans back line that loves to play the offside trap. Auxerre are not great at staying onside, so expect a few flags early, but if Archer times his runs there is space in behind. Le Mans also struggle in aerial duels, which invites Auxerre's long balls. At the other end, counter attacks are the visitors' best weapon, and Auxerre have been shaky defending them. Set pieces are a weak spot for both sides, one more reason we expect goals.
