Nice - Auxerre betting tips and odds

We don’t expect Nice to have any issues beating Auxerre. The hosts are largely favoured by all the top bookmakers online and 1.62 might actually be a good-value bet to consider. The visitors are not to be underestimated but on this particular instance the home side are seen as clear winners.

This one has Home Win written all over it. The hosts are expected to grab a firm hold of the proceedings and Auxerre will be left with slim pickings in this match.

No-one expected Nice’s incredible performance in the previous round – least of all their opponents. Despite overwhelming odds and a home-field disadvantage, Nice took the lead in the first half and turned it into a decisive 0:3 away victory against Monaco .

The away team proved to be able to punch above their weight class in the previous round by unexpectedly defeating Lorient. Fighting against heavily unfavourable odds and a home-field disadvantage, they maintained a tie score for more than half the game before scoring in the second half.

The home team gives their opponents plenty of reasons to worry about the upcoming fixture. They’re on something of a streak with 5 goals scored over the last 3 matches.

Auxerre have just 2 points between them and the relegation zone. The season’s end is in sight, but there’s plenty of time left for changes in the standings. A win at Nice would go a long way in helping them stay in the Ligue 1, difficult as it is.

This matchup has been consistently ending in a draw throughout the current season. Nice played against Auxerre on several occasions in multiple different competitions, and never managed to gain the upper hand despite being considered favourites.

Thankfully, Auxerre will be able to bring out their roster in full force, with no players forced to the sidelines due to injury or suspension. They’re still considered underdogs, mind you, but it’s something to consider.

Though it’s a stretch, a Draw bet is likely the best option when it comes to betting on this match. With the odds at 4.10 with Unibet, it’s not exactly the safest of bets – but it’s quite strong when it comes to value.
