Nice

Evan after conceding two goals in five minutes against Lyon last week and struggling to assert their dominance, Haise is likely to field a similar lineup against Auxerre at home.
However, they will be without two key players. Terem Moffi, recovering from an anterior cruciate ligament injury sustained during pre-season, is not yet match-ready but has returned to full training.
Meanwhile, Morgan Sanson, who has been sidelined with an ankle injury since the start of the season, is nearing full fitness and could be available for selection. Despite these setbacks, Nice will look to put up a solid performance as they prepare for the challenge ahead.
Auxerre

After their 2-0 victory against Reims over the weekend, Pelissier is likely to field the same lineup, with no major absences, to build on that momentum.
There are no changes to the squad, with long-term absentees Lasso Coulibaly and Nathan Buayi-Kiala still sidelined due to injury.
