Nîmes hope to sell some tickets for this game even though the season has been rough so far with 31 points and a 19th position in the Ligue 1 table. Visiting Reims holds 11th place with 41 pts.

Insights:
  • Nîmes haven’t played a single 0-0 game at home.
  • Reims have the most dropped points from leading position (25) in Ligue 1

Both teams should be fairly well rested for this game, as they have had some quiet days to prepare. Hopefully this will translate into lots of action on the pitch.

Relegation threatens Nîmes who should definitely be looking for some points here. Reims are fighting to avoid relegation and will work hard for points.

Nîmes form and stats

With {3 Ligue 1 wins}, 4 draws and 10 defeats from their home games, Nîmes are certainly not brimming with confidence.

No payout for Nîmes in their previous match, an away game at Lens that ended in defeat 1-2. Preceding that game was the home draw versus Strasbourg that ended 1-1.

This is expected to be a close game, with Nîmes perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Nîmes as a small favourite), we find twelve games. Nîmes has won five of these, drawn three and lost four.

Nîmes has scored 18 league goals at home this season, in 17 matches. It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only 2 of these goals has been scored in their last three home matches. Defensively it’s touch-and-go for the home team as 32 goals have been conceded.
