Model CS-4Methodology

Match analysis

Five goals, then none, then four: that has been the scoring pattern across the last three meetings between Lyon and Auxerre, and Superior is backing Under 3.5 goals again when they meet on 4 September at 1.44. The model rates the pick 60 percent likely.

The head-to-head has only crossed four goals once in three meetings

Of the three meetings on record, one finished 3-2, one was goalless and one finished 3-1, an average of three goals a game rather than four. Lyon are scoring 1.6 goals a game themselves this season and Auxerre 1.2, a combined rate of 2.8 that sits comfortably under this line even before accounting for a typically tighter fixture between these two.

One of the last three meetings already crossed this line

The 3-2 meeting on this fixture's own head-to-head record is proof the total can get away from both sides. Lyon have also lost 1-2 in their own last five, so if their defense has an off night while Auxerre's attack clicks the way it did in that 3-2, four goals or more is very much in play, and that is the one scoreline this pick is betting against repeating.
