- Venue: Allianz Riviera (Nice)
Nice have been constantly in the upper half of the league's table for almost a decade, with their best finish being third. This year, the Eaglets are in a position to have another top-three finish as they sit in 3rd place with 46 points from 25 matches. However, in the Cup competitions (Coupe de France and Europa League), the Eaglets were far from impressive and were eliminated from both competitions. However, there is a silver line as they have managed to win four out of the last five games since the eliminations. They will now focus on Ligue 1, which could help them to secure the Champions League appearance next season.
Auxerre moved between Ligue 1 and Ligue 2 in recent three seasons and are only looking to survive somehow in the French top-flight division. For now, they are doing a fantastic job, considering they sit in 11th place with 31 points in 25 rounds. The main reason for their solid season is their excellent home record, winning more than 74% of their total points at Allianz Riviera. However, away from home, they had some problems, and securing a positive result against an in-form Nice would be a challenge.
Nice vs Auxerre pick: Nice to win and cover the -1 AH spread
Nice are in excellent form, winning four out of the last five games with ten goals scored - two per game. Also, Nice have been fantastic at home this season in Ligue 1, as they lost just once in 12 rounds with a 67% win rate (eight out of 12 games). Only PSG and Monaco had more wins at home in the league (ten and nine).
Auxerre weren't great away from home through the season. Yes, they managed to secure a 2:0 win over Reims in the last road game, but before that win, they won only one point in five matches! Also, seven out of Auxerre's eight losses away from home came by two or more goals.
Considering Nice's excellent form and Auxerre's poor road performances throughout the season, we believe the Eaglets will secure a comfortable home win.

Auxerre team news
Right full back Ki-Jana Hoever suffered an injury in the previous game and had to leave the field ten minutes before the end of the game. With him potentially out, we could see Paul Joly in the starting lineup as the replacement. Besides questionable Hoever, the players who missed the previous games with injuries should remain sidelined - Nathan Buayi-Kiala, Lasso Coulibaly, and Aristide Zossou.
