Team News

Auxerre
Nice
  • New signing Theo Bair will likely make his debut for AJA up front, having played there during pre-season
  • New manager Franck Haise makes his OGC Nice debut, the Frenchman will likely switch to a 3-4-3 formation with wingbacks.
  • Jonathan Clauss is set to make his Nice debut: the wing-back moved to the French Riviera this summer from Marseille and has previously played under Haise at Lens.

Prediction

  • AJA Auxerre make their return to the top flight, as manager Christophe Pelissier hopes to keep a promoted side up in Ligue 1 for the third time. Former Lens manager Franck Haise takes the reins at Nice, replacing the departed Francesco Farioli - he'll hope to keep up Nice's push for European football this campaign.
  • Auxerre have not won any of their last five games in all competitions against Nice (2 defeats followed by 3 draws) and only had a longer drought against this opponent between 1981 and 1986 (6 – D3 L3). Expect a tough test for the newly-promoted home side against the Aiglons.
