Nimes hope to sell some tickets for this game even though the season has been rough so far with 12 points and a 19th position in the Ligue 1 table. Visiting Olympique Lyonnais holds 8th place with 22 pts.
It's no vacation for neither Nîmes nor Olympique Lyonnais 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.
