An important duel in the bottom section of the Ligue 1, with both Reims and Nîmes experiencing more worry than joy. This match is a classic "six-pointer" with the home team placed 16th and the visitors in 18th place.
This should be an interesting game with lots of spark and energy as both teams are well rested since they last saw competitive action. Game on!
