Only a few games have been played in the Ligue 1 so far, with Olympique Lyonnais placed 11th and Nîmes sitting in the 13th position.

There haven't been much time to rest for the hosts, as they played a Ligue 1 match only three days ago. At least it's nice to return home after that away game at Montpellier.

Nîmes form and stats

Nîmes have played one away game so far, a loss. Last season their away games stats in the Ligue 1 were 1 victory, 4 draws and 9 defeats from 14 fixtures.

Nîmes might have something to prove in this game as they lost at home in their previous match. Rennes proved too strong as Nîmes slumped to a 2-4 defeat in front of their own fans at Stade des Costières. Prior to that match, the Nîmes manager J. Arpinon faced defeat when travelling to Nantes and losing 1-2.

As you can tell from the result, the match against Rennes was as crazy as a clown in a village circus. Great fun for the neutral supporter with 6 goals, will the fun continue today?

Nîmes have the goal stats of 1-2 (for/against) from 1 business trip in the league at this early stage of the season.

Head 2 Head

H2H stats regardless of arena (last three matches): Olympique three wins, zero draws and Nîmes zero victories. As for goals, two matches ended with three or more goals (over 2,5), one game had two or less.
