Venue: Stade Pierre-Mauroy (50083 seats)

Only a win will satisfy the home supporters in this Stade Pierre-Mauroy clash with Nîmes, having a healthy lead on the opposition in the Ligue 1 table.

Lille have less rest than Nîmes in this fixture, as the hosts were involved in a Champions League game only four days ago. Thankfully the previous game, versus Chelsea, was also a home game here at Stade Pierre-Mauroy. The away team is better rested.

It's quite the trip for Nîmes when visiting Lille as the cities are 900 kilometers apart.

Lille form and stats

4-0-0 (win-draw-lost) are the Ligue 1 numbers at home for Lille so far this season. Ever since the Nantes game Lille has been unbeatable here at Stade Pierre-Mauroy producing four straight wins.

The Lille fans got no joy from their last match, a Champions League game also here at Stade Pierre-Mauroy: A 1-2 defeat against Chelsea. A 1-1 draw away in the Ligue 1 before that, with Nice the opponent.

The betting market estimate that the home team has about 55-60% chance of winning this match. There could be betting value if you think differently, so to help you here are the stats from Lille's earlier matches at home being 55%-60% favourite: Played two games, won 1 match, drawn 1 and lost 0.

Nîmes form and stats

Playing away, Nîmes have won 0 games, drawn 2 and suffered 2 defeats in the Ligue 1 this season.

The manager B. Blaquart was unhappy after their last game, a Ligue 1 match played at their home ground Stade Pierre-Mauroy. Nîmes suffered a 0-1 loss to Saint-Étienne (placed 19th). It was a defeat before that one as the away game against Montpellier wasn't a success with a 0-1 loss.

As mentioned above, the odds for this match puts the home team as favourites. Perhaps this eases the pressure on the away team, who are capable of producing an upset here on a good day. Looking at earlier matches with similar odds and Nîmes playing away, we found two games. Results were 0 away wins, 0 draws and 2 home wins.

Nîmes are seemingly not capable of scoring regularly on their travels in the league. They have only managed 2 goals from 4 away games. Defensive performances away have varied in quality as Nîmes have conceded 6 goals on the road. For more goal statistics, check out the Statistics tab above.

Head 2 Head
