Nîmes have a very long trip to this away game, as there's more than 1100 kilometers in distance to cover. This could prove a challenge, at least for the supporters.

It's no vacation for neither Guingamp nor Nîmes as both were in action only a few days ago. Expect some tired legs on the pitch and/or possibly some changes to the lineups.
