Nice vs Auxerre Odds

The odds and lines below are updated regularly and may differ from the prices shown in our picks, which are captured at the time of publication.

Latest Odds Suggest Nice Win

For this Ligue 1 clash, Nice are the -128 favourites to triumph according to the latest Full-Time Result betting odds. This reflects that they have a 56% chance of winning. If you want to wager on the underdog, AJ Auxerre have been priced up at +320.

Stake is split between -0.5 and -1.0 when betting Nice -0.75 at -100 on the Asian Handicap. Beating Auxerre by 2+ goals sees a full payout. Winning by one goal means a return on the former and a push on the latter.

The Under 2.5 / Over 2.5 Goals betting market suggests that there’s not much between the two options. The Both Teams to Score market is always popular and BTTS Yes can be backed at -127.

The best betting sites push the boat out to ensure that football bettors can select from hundreds of markets. You can access them for every Ligue 1 match before making a decision.
