This match will be the first time these two teams face eachother this season.
Nice’s top weapon lately has been Andy Delort, who has 2 goals in the last five matches. Gauthier Hein and M’Baye Niang are the top scorers for Auxerre in the last five matches, but unfortunately they only have one goal. It’s hard to imagine having success with those stats
Mathias Autret, Julian Jeanvier and Gauthier Hein are unavailable to play for Jean-Marc Furlan’s team, while Lucien Favre’s squad will be without Dante.
