The Allianz Riviera, Nice is the venue for a Ligue 1 clash on Saturday evening as Nice takes on Auxerre.
Nice come into this fixture still searching for their first goal of the season after a disappointing defeat against Toulouse last weekend. Contrastingly, Auxerre makes the trip south in high spirits after a hard-fought win against Lorient.
Unbeaten in their last five matches against Nice, could the visitors pick up a positive result this weekend?

Nice and Auxerre have met on just six occasions since 2012. Both teams claimed one win a piece, while four games finished level.
Nice team overview
Nice come into this fixture off the back of a frustrating 1:0 defeat at Toulouse, following their double loss to Benfica in the UEFA Champions League playoffs.
Despite a decent pre-season that saw them win four of six matches, Franck Haise’s men have failed to carry that form into competitive action. Les Aiglons have now gone three straight games without scoring, including home and away defeats against Benfica.
Franck Haise could make some changes to his selection this weekend. Sofiane Diop, Salis Abdul Samed and Jérémie Boga are among those who could earn a recall to the first XI.
Tanguy Ndombéle, Mohamed Abdelmonem and Youssouf Ndayishimiye remain long-term absentees.

Auxerre team overview
Auxerre return to action in high spirits after kicking-off their Ligue 1 campaign with a valuable 1:0 win against Lorient last weekend. Lassine Sinayoko's first-half goal secured the points for Christophe Pélissier's side.
AJA had endured a mixed run of results in pre-season, winning two and losing two of five warm-up fixtures.
A low-scoring outcome can often be expected when Auxerre are involved. None of their last four games finished with both teams scoring, while only one of Nice's last five matches saw BTTS.
Head coach Pélissier reported no fresh injury issues after last week's win against Lorient. The visitors are likely to name the same XI this weekend.
