Auxerre vs Nice Prediction | 54% Away Win Chance · Lineups

Match Preview

Auxerre hosts Nice on September 12 in Ligue 1, with both sides seeking to build early-season momentum. Auxerre currently sit four points above the relegation zone, having collected 5 points from their opening 4 matches. Their home form is middling, scoring 4 goals in 2 games but conceding 5, highlighting defensive vulnerability at Stade de l'Abbé-Deschamps.

Nice have been inconsistent away, with just one clean sheet in their last 7 road fixtures. They have netted 6 goals in 4 league games, led by winger Delort, who has 3 goals so far. However, their defensive record remains a concern, having conceded 9 goals in their last 4 Ligue 1 matches overall.

Auxerre’s main weakness is their porous defense at home, conceding 2.5 goals per game in their last 4 home outings. Nice’s attack, spearheaded by Delort, gives them an edge, but their away defensive struggles could be exploited. With 54% of recent matches between these sides featuring both teams scoring, this fixture leans towards an open contest.

Overall, Nice hold a slight edge due to their sharper attack and Auxerre’s defensive leaks, but the home side’s resilience and home goalscoring form keep this close. Expect a competitive match with chances at both ends, making Nice a narrow favorite (approx. 45% win probability) based on current data.

Team Form

Auxerre’s recent form shows defensive instability, with 8 goals conceded in 5 games, but their ability to score at home remains intact. Nice’s results are patchy but their attack remains productive despite defensive lapses.

Both sides have struggled to maintain clean sheets, suggesting an open game with scoring opportunities for both teams.
