- Nîmes has the most conceded goals (39) in Ligue 1
- Lille have scored at least twice as many goals as they have conceded.
There’s little time for restitution or working hard at the training pitch these days, with both teams having played their last game less than four days ago.
It's quite the trip for Lille when visiting Nîmes as the cities are 900 kilometers apart.
Nîmes form and stats
Nîmes's struggle is real here at Stade des Costières with only 4 points collected from 9 Ligue 1 games. The win-draw-lost numbers are ugly: 1-1-7. Nîmes are slowly digging their own grave here at Stade des Costières with the depressing streak of not having won a home league game in eight attempts. The last victory here came in the Brest match.
No payout for Nîmes in their previous match, an away game at Strasbourg that ended in defeat 0-5. Preceding that match was the home game against Dijon that was lost 1-3.
Nîmes were outplayed and humiliated in their previous game, as mentioned in the paragraph above. They will need to reinstall their confidence before this one. Baptiste Reynet had a busy but productive day in the Strasbourg match. Despite making seven saves the loss could not be prevented.
