Auxerre-Nice

Auxerre hosts Nice in a match that sees both teams looking to consolidate their positions in the standings. Nice comes into the game with a recent strong performance against teams like Lecce and Rizespor, showcasing their attacking prowess and resilience in defense. Auxerre, on the other hand, has been inconsistent, with significant losses against Reims and Grenoble offset by wins against Troyes and Red Star.

When these two sides met previously, games have been tight with Nice managing to edge Auxerre often. In the recent head-to-heads, they managed a narrow win and a couple of draws, indicating a competitive edge but with Nice having a slight upper hand.

Given the form of both teams, it is likely that Nice will have the upper hand in this encounter. Nice’s recent games indicate that they are capable of finding the back of the net more reliably, while Auxerre’s defense has been shaky, having conceded multiple goals in recent outings.

Expect Nice to win this match, with both teams not necessarily scoring. The game seems unlikely to surpass the 2.5 goals mark, considering Nice’s ability to maintain control and Auxerre’s struggle in front of the net against stronger opposition.
