Nîmes, Recent FormNîmes will be very happy having secured 3 points in their last match with a significant 3-2 home win against Pau FC.
While they have been reasonably effective at circumventing their opponents defence, scoring 7 in their last 6 games, it's largely been tit for tat with their own defence proving to be equally ineffectual, conceding 8, and leading to valuable points being dropped. Although failing to score in 4 of their last 6 games and having conceded at least one goal in 5 of those games, they may have turned a corner having won their last 1.
They have lost 4 of their last 6 matches, which will be a focus of concern, but their 2 wins in that period did produce some valuable points nevertheless.
On an individual basis, Rafiki Saïd will be looking to get on the scoresheet again having scored 3 goals in Nîmes' last 6 league games.
Valenciennes, Recent FormWith Bordeaux sitting a clear 14 places above them in the table, Valenciennes won't feel totally dejected with their 2-0 home defeat by them last time out.
Ahmed Kantari will be quite satisfied with his squad's offensive prowess in recent performances. They have managed to notch up 8 goals from their last 6 outings. However, the manager will know they have work to do at the back where they have let in 11 goals and, as a result, lost some important points. They have scored in 5 of their last 6 away games but failed to keep a clean sheet in 5 of those games.
They will be looking to try and improve on a largely bad set of recent results that have seen them defeated in 4 of their last 6 league matches, with just a single victory recorded. It's fair to say they'll need a serious change of form if they want to start moving up the table.
Having scored 5 goals in his last 6 league games for Valenciennes, Adrian Grbić will be looking to keep his tally up with a goal in their next outing.
Nîmes suffered the disappointment of a 3-2 defeat at the hands of Valenciennes the last time they met in the league.
Nîmes will be looking to extend their current run of scoring against Les Athéniens having scored at least 1 goal in each of their previous 11 meetings.
In the league, Nîmes has an strong track record when they play host to VAFC, notchng up a win in their last 5 home games.
There is only really one injury concern for the Nîmes manager Frédéric Bompard ahead of this clash, with Benoît Poulain (Unknown) missing out, which gives Bompard a strong squad to pick his starting eleven from.
There is only really one injury concern for the VAFC manager Ahmed Kantari ahead of this clash, with Quentin Lecoeuche (Broken collarbone) missing out, which gives Kantari a strong squad to pick his starting eleven from.
