OGC Nice vs Auxerre Prediction and Betting Tips | January 6th 2024

OGC Nice and Auxerre get underway in 2024 when they go head-to-head at the Allianz Riviera in the Coupe de France on Saturday.

Christophe Pélissier’s men head into the game on a run of five consecutive victories across all competitions and will look to keep the ball rolling in the new year.

OGC Nice rounded off their schedule for 2023 in style as they picked up a comfortable 2-0 victory over Lens on home turf.

This capped off an impressive first half of the season for Francesco Farioli’s side, who are currently second in the Ligue 1 standings, five points behind first-placed Paris Saint-Germain.

Nice will now look to pick up where they left off as they begin their quest for a fourth Coupe de France title.

Auxerre, on the other hand, continued their quest for automatic promotion to Ligue 1 as they picked up a 3-1 victory over Laval in their last outing of the year.

Pélissier’s men are currently on a five-match winning streak and are unbeaten in their last eight matches across all competitions, claiming seven wins and one draw since November’s 2-1 defeat against Guingamp.

Auxerre, who are currently second in the Ligue 2 table, now turn their attention to the Coupe de France, where they saw off US Le Pays Du Valois and FC Saint-Meziery in the opening two rounds.
