Auxerre vs Nice Prediction and Betting Tips | October 16, 2022

Auxerre will host Nice at the Stade Abbe-Deschamps in Ligue 1 on Sunday (October 16), looking to snap a six-game winless run.

After back-to-back wins on matchdays three and four, the Burgundy outfit have not won in their next six outings, losing five. With only eight points from ten games, Jean-Marc Furlan's side are down in 16th place in the standings, hovering perilously above the relegation zone.

The referee for #AJAOGCN will be Eric Wattellier, who has already refereed the 2 clubs this season (Lille 4-1 Auxerre and Ajaccio 0-1 Nice)

🚩 He will be assisted by Alexandre Viala and Cédric Favre

Nice, meanwhile, haven't covered themselves in glory either, collecting just three points more than Auxerre from as many games so far. However, after consecutive losses to Angers and PSG, the Eaglets picked up a narrow 3-2 win over Troyes in their last outing.

Lucien Favre's side raced to a 3-0 lead by the 50th minute but the visitors pulled back twice late on to set up a grandstand finish before Nice hung on for all three points.

Auxerre vs Nice Prediction

The Eaglets have a great chance to add wind to their sails by picking up a second straight win, but their poor defence might hamper their chances. Nice could be the favourites on paper, but both sides could cancel each other out in a high-scoring stalemate.
