Niort Double Chance
Niort’s performances and results have been steadily improving under new boss Rui Almeida and having lost just one of their last nine competitive matches, the Ligue 2 outfit should be confident enough to challenge Auxerre on Sunday. The top tier visitors needed penalty kicks to see off lower-league Dunkerque in the Coupe de France’s previous round, so expect them to toil at times here. With those factors in mind, our first prediction advises a stake on Niort in the double chance market.
Both Teams to Score
Niort have rattled the net at least once in nine of their last 11 fixtures and they have enough talent at their disposal in the final third to maintain their excellent strike rate when they welcome Auxerre to the Stade René Gaillard on Sunday. Auxerre meanwhile, have impacted the scoresheet in ten of their last 11 away ties in the Coupe de France and with Ligue 1 quality in their ranks, they should be able to penetrate their host’s rearguard. Expect action at both ends here.

Draw odds: 47/20 (3.35) – 29.9%
Auxerre odds: 53/50 (2.06) – 48.5%

Niort vs Auxerre Team News & Injuries
Read all of the latest injury updates and team news for Sunday’s Coupe de France meeting between Niort and Auxerre below.
Niort
Niort like to set-up in a flat 4-4-2 formation under Head Coach Rui Almeida, though the simplicity of his philosophy has been yielding good results. Niort are still second bottom in Ligue 2, though they should find themselves in a safer position soon.
Predicted Lineup for Niort: Louchet – Durivaux, Passi, M'bondo, Moutachy – Olaitan, Benchamma, Zemzemi, Renel – Rochetaeu, Boutobba
Auxerre
Auxerre are also in a perilous position, just one place off the foot of Ligue 1, though they will hope to enjoy some cup distraction on Sunday. Auxerre favour a 3-4-1-2 shape under manager Christophe Pelissier, and they should be deployed with a similar structure this weekend.
Predicted Lineup for Auxerre: Leon – Jeanvier, Jubal, S. Toure – Raveloson, B. Toure, M'Changama, Hein – Autret, Bline, da Costa
Player to Watch – Bilal Boutobba
Midfielder Bilal Boutobba has been a star player for Niort this season and the 24-year-old needs just two more goals in Ligue 2 to breach double figures for the campaign. The Marseille-born schemer has yet to impact the scoresheet in the Coupe de France this term, though he has another chance to showcase his skills in the competition against Auxerre on Sunday.
Starting Lineups
Official lineups are usually released approximately one hour before kick-off.
