An important duel in the bottom section of the league table, with both teams experiencing more worry than joy. This match is a classic “six-pointer” with the home team placed 17th and the visitors in 20th place.
Strasbourg and Nîmes should both be in good shape for this meeting, as there's been enough days for both of them to train and rest since their last matches.
