After the defeat in the previous round, both Auxerre and Nantes are looking for redemption in the upcoming match. The away team, in particular, needs to reevaluate its defensive line as they have been struggling on the road. Looking at the recent head-to-head matchups between the two teams, it suggests a game with few goals being scored. The away team usually does not falter under the pressure of the home crowd, which could work in their favor.
On the other hand, the home team has a good chance of securing a win with three points. The last few direct confrontations have resulted in three wins for the home team, one draw, and one victory for the away team. This history could give the home team a psychological advantage going into the game.
In terms of goal-scoring, the away team has an average of one goal scored per game this season. This statistic might indicate a struggle to find the back of the net, which could be a weakness the home team can exploit.
The home team, Nantes, is managed by Luís Ferreira de Castro, while the away team, Auxerre, is coached by Christophe Pélissier. Both managers will play a crucial role in determining the tactics and strategies employed during the game.
