Dunkerque vs Auxerre Prediction & Betting Tips (29 April)

Announced as one of the big favorites to be relegated at the winter break after a catastrophic first part of the season, USL Dunkerque defied observers by recovering from the end of January to catch up with its competitors in the race to maintain and even get out of the red zone. And 4 days before the end of this championship, the Maritimes are close to their objective since they are 6 points ahead of the first relegated team. A little less well recently, the Maritimes were held to a draw in Bastia 1-1 before being beaten at home by Guingamp 0-1. Fortunately for them, the Northerners were able to keep their backs to win at Amiens 0-1 before losing quite logically to Bordeaux 2-0 in the middle of the week.

For its part, Auxerre has finally restarted the machine this week by winning largely against a Laval team adrift 4-0. This victory dispelled the doubts that had appeared in recent weeks when AJA had been beaten twice by Quevilly-Rouen Métropole 4-3 and against Rodez 2-0, each time showing a rather worrying face. But the success obtained on Tuesday evening allowed Christophe Pélissier's men to maintain their 3 point lead at the top of the ranking and to still have a little margin in the race for promotion and the title.

As for the Northerners, striker Gnanduillet could be the only element of this Dunkirk team to have to withdraw from the reception of the leader. Up front, veteran striker Courtet (4 goals) should have another chance to shine even if he had a difficult evening in Bordeaux on Tuesday evening.

Behind him should stand in support the interesting Bardelli (3 goals) and the playmaker Anziani (4 goals) while the former Lens and Everton player, Gbamin, should start in the heart of the game.
