Auxerre must have qualified directly for Ligue 1, but Ajaccio showed incredible form at the end of the regular season, pushing Auxerre to third place.
Sochaux took 5th place in the regular season, reaching the 1/4 playoffs, where they met with Paris FC. In that match, the capital club was supposed to win, but fortune was clearly on the side of the guests. Paris did not convert two penalties in that game, and in the first half, it also remained with one man down. Sochaux scored the winning goal in the last seconds.
In this pair, Auxerre looks like a clear favorite, showing more confident play in the competition, and they also have an advantage in head-to-head meetings. But betting on the hosts’ clear victory is still risky.
Our prediction: Auxerre to qualify. We recommend the “Q1” bet, odds 1.61
