Nice vs Auxerre match Prediction 23 August 2025

Nice will aim to prevent losing their second match of the season early on their home soil following their last defeat, while Auxerre will aim to secure a win and extend their previous win to two games early in the season. Therefore, I expect both teams to be in their attacking play, while I expect both teams to score. However, I expect a high aggressive play in this match, since both teams will aim to perform in their attacking units, and their defensive units also will not give up easily, as a result, I expect over 3.5 caution cards to be issued out, while I expect at least more than 8 corner kicks.
