Struggling Nîmes will be hoping to pull off an upset when they welcome high-flying Olympique Marseille in the upcoming league round. It’s 16th vs 6th and the home crowd will have moderate expectations.
- Nîmes has the most conceded goals (15) at home in Ligue 1
- Olympique Marseille has the most points (13) away in Ligue 1
It’s a hectic schedule for the away team, as they were in action only three days ago in the Champions League.
Nîmes form and stats
The home fans haven’t been spoiled with victories in the Ligue 1 this season. Nîmes, who have the most conceded goals (15) at home in Ligue 1, have only managed 1 win, 1 draw and 4 losses from their games here at Stade des Costières. With Nîmes having lost three times in a row here, the pressure is increasing on the manager J. Arpinon.
No payout for Nîmes in their previous match, an away game at Monaco that ended in defeat 0-3. In the preceding match a 1-0 victory visiting Reims.
The Nîmes fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 8 in 6 matches. Neutralizing the opposition is a challenge, Nîmes having conceded 15 goals here at Stade des Costières so far.

Olympique has recorded two wins in a row in their away matches and hold legitimate hopes of a third one.
The supporters enjoyed Olympique's previous game versus Olympiakos Piraeus, a Champions League 2-1 win played at home. Prior to that match, a home win 3-1 against Nantes in the Ligue 1.
Olympique Marseille find the net regularly in their away games. 7 goals from 5 away fixtures in the league. It's not easy to score on Olympique Marseille as they have only conceded 3 goals from these away games.
