Goal Statistics

AJ Auxerre's fans will be hoping for goals on Sunday night, not least because Nice have conceded in each of their last 17 Ligue 1 games. A PG of 1.5 for C. Pélissier's side suggests that run should continue.

Goals have been difficult to come by for Nice of late. It has been 6 Ligue 1 matches since they last scored more than 1, and a PG of 1.1 suggests they'll have problems ending that run on Sunday night against AJ Auxerre.
