Nîmes

LLDLLL 📉

After being beaten in their last game against Lille in Ligue 1 competition, Nîmes will be aiming to make amends here.

In that match, Nîmes managed 48% possession and 7 shots at goal with 0 on target. LOSC Lille Métropole had 10 shots on goal with 2 on target. Burak Yılmaz (29') scored for Lille.

The strike force from Nîmes have made hard work of scoring goals over their previous six encounters, recording the unsatisfactory return of only 3. In those fixtures, Les Crocodiles have also seen the collective goal tally of their opponents equal 16. Such a pattern won’t necessarily be carried forward into this game, though.

Going into this encounter, Nîmes are without an away win for the past 4 league games.

💭 Prediction

We’re of the opinion that Marseille will, in all likelihood, be able to create a high number of chances and successful shots on target.

At the other end, Nîmes could well find it tough finding the net themselves but we do think it’s quite likely that they will be managing to get on the scoresheet as well here.

Accordingly, we see a fairly comfortable 3-1 winning margin for Marseille at full-time.
