OGC Nice vs AJ Auxerre Prediction 14 March 2025

Despite a recent 0:2 loss to Lyon, Nice remain in a strong third place with 46 points and a goal difference of 49:30. Their high position is largely thanks to a four-match winning streak before that, where they secured victories over Lens (2:0), Le Havre (3:1), Montpellier (2:0), and Saint-Étienne (3:1), all teams battling to avoid relegation.

Auxerre, meanwhile, have performed well for a newly promoted side, sitting comfortably in 11th place with 31 points and a goal record of 36:38. Over their last five matches, they have beaten Marseille (3:0) and Reims (2:0), drawn 2:2 with both Toulouse and Brest, and suffered a narrow 0:1 defeat to Strasbourg. Their attacking output has been solid, making them a potential threat even against top-tier opposition.

Nice appear stronger on paper and have the home advantage, but Auxerre’s offensive form suggests they can find the net. My prediction: both teams will score.
