Nice heads into this match at the Allianz Riviera in a tough spot, with four games without a win and three of those ending in draws or losses. They’ve been held scoreless in two of their last three, showing real difficulty creating chances, and recently took a heavy loss away from home. Auxerre, on the other hand, have won only one of their last five and have lost three of those, but they did manage a promising away win recently, scoring twice with clean sheet. However, their overall form on the road is shaky, and they’ve often conceded three goals in matches.

Their head-to-head history is filled with close games-most ended in draws or narrow one-goal margins, with a few having plenty of goals. The previous meeting finished 2-1 to Auxerre, so Nice will be looking to even things out. Given Nice’s home advantage and Auxerre’s defensive struggles on the road, this looks like a tight match that could go either way, but Nice probably have the edge to come out on top.
