Competition: France Ligue 1
Date: Sat 02.November
Match begins: 20:00 (UTC)
Venue: Stade des Costieres (18482 seats)

Season ticket holders at Stade des Costieres haven't seen too many victories this season, with Nimes languishing in the 18th position so far. The guesting Rennes will be hopeful to defend their higher league position in this one.

There haven't been much time to rest for the hosts, as they played a Coupe de la Ligue match only four days ago. This match was also played here at Stade des Costieres. With two consecutive home games the intense schedule is somewhat softened. Still, Rennes have had more rest. That game was an away game at Lens, so at least Nîmes are thankful to return home in this one. Game on!

Everyone involved with the away team has to get their travel gear ready for this match as there's a whopping 900 kilometers to cover before arriving at the match.
