We move to France's Ligue 1. On Saturday, Nice, who are having a fairly good season so far, will meet here. The team is in 8th place in the league with 33 points. Meanwhile, the visitors from Nimes are in 18th place with 21 points.
Nice
Although the team is currently in 8th place, not everything is lost this season. The gap from 3rd place Rennes is only 6 points. Currently, Nice is showing very good form – they have not lost in 7 consecutive matches in the league. And speaking of home games, the situation is even better. The last defeat was against Paris SG in October. Overall, Nice is one of the best teams in the league when it comes to home games. H2H also leans towards Nice, who have won the last 3 matches against Nimes. In this match, Atal, Lloris, and Ounas will not be seen in the home ranks.
Nimes
This team's season is really tough. Sometimes they show quite good play at home and recently even defeated Dijon, Monaco, and Reims, but the situation is very bad when playing away. Throughout the season, Nimes has not yet achieved a victory away. 4 draws and 7 losses. It is especially difficult for them to score goals. In 11 matches, they have scored only 7 goals. And overall, they have lost 5 consecutive away matches. In this match, Briancon, Ripart, Deaux, and Valls will not be able to help them. And these are really significant losses, especially in the defense line.
Choice
So, although Nimes comes into this match after a few consecutive home victories, looking at their away statistics, it seems that this series will end. Nice is currently showing exceptionally good football in their fortress, and it would be quite strange if they failed to score against one of the weakest teams. We predict that Nimes will have very big problems scoring a goal, and their porous defense should concede a goal or two. Good luck!
