Struggling Nîmes will be hoping to pull off an upset when they welcome high-flying Monaco in the upcoming league round. It’s 20th vs 4th and the home crowd will have moderate expectations.
- Nîmes has the most conceded goals (44) in Ligue 1
- Monaco is in the best form (5-1-0)
It's no vacation for neither Nîmes nor Monaco as both were in action only a few days ago. Expect some tired legs on the pitch and/or possibly some changes to the lineups.
Nîmes form and stats
Nîmes's results here at Stade des Costières in the Ligue 1 have been very modest with 1 victory, 1 draw and 8 defeats. With nine home Ligue 1 games in a row without a win, the Nîmes fans could feel they are not getting value for their money. It remains to be seen whether this unfortunate streak, which started after the Brest game long ago, can be stopped today.
Nîmes are hoping to put things right at home after a defeat in their previous match, the score 0-3 away versus Paris Saint Germain. Prior to that was the away defeat visiting Angers SCO (1-3).
The match schedule is unforgiving for Nîmes as they have a new game in only three days, a Coupe de France match thankfully also at home. Nice are visiting.
The goals haven't exactly been flowing for Nîmes here at Stade des Costières in the league, with less than one goal per game on average (9 from 10 games).
