Command Analysis
Auxerre
FranceCurrent form
Auxerre have finally broken into the elite of French football. Last season, the team won the Second League and received a direct ticket to Ligue 1. The game gained new colors after the arrival of head coach Christophe Pélissier, who led the team to the top division after a long wandering in the leagues below.
There were six games in the off-season, in which the club won twice and drew and lost the same number. The only thing that is not impressive is that the opponents were not the top ones, and many were even of a significantly lower class.

Nice
FranceCurrent form
In the second half of last season, Nice suffered a severe setback. In the first half, it was in second place and at one point it even seemed that it would create competition for PSG, but it was not to be. The game began to fall apart and it is unclear what caused such a decline. Some swings began, which eventually led the team to fifth place and to the European Cup called the Europa League.
After a disastrous second half, Francesco Farioli was removed from the post of head coach. He was replaced by Franck Eze, under whose leadership five matches have already been played, in which there were three draws and one defeat and one victory.

Sofiane Diop will not take part in the match due to a knee injury
