Nice host Auxerre at the Allianz Riviera on Friday (March 3) in Ligue 1. The hosts endured a difficult start to their campaign but are now flying under new manager Didier Digard and pushing for European football. They beat Monaco 3-0 in their last league outing, riding on a Terem Moffi brace and Khepren Thuram strike in the first half. Nice are seventh in the league table with 41 points from 25 games.
Auxerre, meanwhile, have also found good form recently and have begun picking up points in their quest to remain in the top flight. They beat Lorient 1-0 last time out/ Rayan Raveloson scoring a brilliant freekick just before the hour mark to clinch all three points for Christophe Pelissier’s men. The visitors are 16th in the standings with 21 points.

Nice vs Auxerre Team News
With backup goalkeeper Marcin Bulka sidelined due to a shoulder injury, Kasper Schmeichel’s position as Nice’s first-choice shot-stopper is not under threat.
The hosts will also be without the injured trio of Youcef Atal, Joe Bryan and Nicolas Pepe on Friday, with the latter contributing eight goals across all competitions before developing a knee problem, while Aaron Ramsey could also miss out after picking up an issue last time out.
Having bagged a brace last time out, Lorient loanee Terem Moffi will continue in attack alongside Gaetan Laborde, who has netted three goals in his last six league outings.
As for Auxerre, new signing Elisha Owusu made just one appearance for the club before sustaining an Achilles injury, which is likely to keep him out for the remainder of the campaign.
