Game: VALENCIENNES vs AUXERRE
Type: FRANCE LIGUE 1
Date: 4 April, 2009
PREVIEW
Unbeaten in their last 13, Valenciennes is proving to be a tough nut to crack. Many teams have found it hard to score against the well-organized defense of Valenciennes. The host have managed to keep a clean sheet in 7 of their last 10 matches, enabling them to climb up to their current 13th position in the league. An even more impressive statistics is the fact that they have won 14 out of their last 15 on asian handicap!
9th placed Auxerre, who only lost once in their last 7 matches, will be hoping to turn the tables against the home team. They have impressed of late, with notable performances against top teams such as Lyon, Toulouse and Lille during the unbeaten stretch. In their last 10 matches, Auxerre have scored an average 1.10 goals per game - which could prove to be a decisive factor against the in-form Valenciennes when they meet.
KWIK STATS
HOME > VALENCIENNES
AWAY > AUXERRE
THE PICK
AUXERRE's uptrend in form should see them holding Valenciennes to at least a draw. I'm backing on them on asian handicap to end the home team's run. After all, all good things must come to and end!
