Auxerre and Nantes played out a goalless draw in a Ligue 1 matchday 29 fixture, leaving both teams entrenched in the relegation zone.
Auxerre currently occupies the playoff spot for survival with 24 points, while Nantes sits five points adrift in the penultimate position. Metz appears almost certainly relegated with just 15 points, while Nice is currently above the drop zone with 27. None of these teams have secured a victory in April.
Nantes, arguably more in need of the three points, perhaps deserved them, having registered 13 shots with four on target, compared to zero for the hosts. However, big chances were squandered in the first half by Deiver Machado, Demain Tabibou, and Mohamed Kaba, while Nicolas Cozza failed to convert in the second period.
Nantes will have an opportunity to bounce back in their next match against Brest, while Auxerre faces the daunting task of seeking points against Monaco.
