Head-to-head statistics Nice - Auxerre
Nice Team Overview
🔴 Nice had a smooth pre-season, actively playing and securing wins with a high goal tally. However, once the official matches began, their results took a nosedive: three consecutive defeats - two in the Champions League qualifiers against Benfica and one in Ligue 1. Frank Haise's side failed to score in any of these matches.
⚫ In their opening Ligue 1 game of the current season, Nice fell at home to Toulouse (0-1), conceding in the 89th minute. According to xG, Haise's team almost managed a goal (0.96) but couldn't break through the opponent's defense. Given their pre-season form, a resurgence in their scoring ability seems imminent.

Auxerre Team Overview
⚪ Auxerre had a rough patch in their recent friendlies leading up to the Ligue 1 kickoff, going winless in three matches. However, Christophe Pelissier's squad managed to secure a crucial victory in the opening round of the French championship, earning 3 valuable points.
🔵 In their Ligue 1 opener, Auxerre hosted Lorient and edged out a narrow 1-0 win. The "Burgundians" registered three shots on target and boasted a high xG of 1.42. Ultimately, it was Lassine Sinayoko's decisive strike that settled the match.

Latest news
Nice
📄 On Sunday, following their opening round defeat to Toulouse, Nice fans signed a petition against the British company Ineos (the club's owner) and specifically Jim Ratcliffe, who owns the firm. The grievance centers on the perceived lack of attention and funding from the investor since Ineos acquired shares in Manchester United. "Find a buyer as quickly as possible if you haven't already, and leave! The club will benefit from shedding this burden, which is becoming unbearable," the statement reads.
❌ Mohamed Abdel Monem, Tanguy Ndombele, and Youssouf Ndayishimiye have been sidelined for an extended period and will not be able to assist Nice in the upcoming match. Morgan Sanson suffered a hamstring injury during recent Champions League qualifying and will miss the game against Auxerre. The participation of defender Dante and forward Mohamed-Ali Cho is in doubt as they are still undergoing rehabilitation.
Auxerre
📄 Auxerre have yet to find a replacement for Gaëtan Perrin, who moved to Krasnodar after leading Ligue 1 in assists last season with 11. The club is on the hunt, but time is running short.
❌ Sinaly Diomandé and Oussama El Azzouzi will be unavailable for Auxerre's match against Nice due to recent injuries, despite being fit during preseason friendlies. The participation of Josué Casimir and Gabriel Osho is also in doubt.
🟨 Referee and Yellow Cards
The referee for the upcoming match is Jérémy Stinat. On average, over a stretch of 100 matches, he hands out 3.73 cards per game with 24 fouls committed. In their last three official matches, Nice have received 7 cautions (averaging 2.33 per game), while Auxerre were penalized with three yellow cards in their recent clash with Lorient. Considering the recent rough play from both sides, we suggest betting on over 4 total yellow cards.
⚽️ Goal Prediction
These teams tend to play high-scoring matches, netting 2 or more goals in five of their last six encounters. Given this trend, we recommend placing a bet on over 2 total goals in the upcoming game.
🚩 Corner Prediction
In their last six matches, Nice have averaged 7.7 corners, while Auxerre have managed just 3.9. Looking at these stats and considering Nice are playing at home, we suggest considering a bet on Nice -1.5 corners handicap.
Editor's Prediction
Nice have been struggling to find the back of the net in official matches for a while now, but this dry spell is bound to end soon-expected goals metrics are practically shouting it out loud. A home game against a relatively weaker opponent is an ideal opportunity for them to break the drought. Auxerre scored in the last round and showed attacking prowess during preseason friendlies-Christophe Pelissier's squad seems to have their offense in good shape. Considering the head-to-head stats, betting on both teams to score appears to be a reasonable prediction.
