Nimes welcome the visitors Lille in the French Ligue 1 – Round 18. The match will be held on Sunday, December 16th, at the Stade des Costieres (Nimes).
It sometimes happens in France that the newcomer to the Ligue 1 show outstanding results and are considered one of the breakthroughs of the season. Something like that is true of Nimes. No matter how surprising it may sound, the hosts are absolute league toppers, following the result of the latest five rounds – they feature five wins and only one loss. In their seven fixtures, Nimes have conceded only twice, to Nice who are playing great in defense, and to Paris Saint-Germain, scoring two goals to the champion’s net. The number of the goals they made is impressive. There is no single renowned striker in the team, they are all dangerous.

Lille are running second so far. They have no ambition for gold medals, but they also have no right for a mistake in their struggle for the Champions League. The guests will most likely continue their fall shortly. Their start to the campaign was amazing – they got five wins in six rounds, but they have receded recently. The team dropped out of the Сoupe de la Ligue and managed to win only once in six rounds. They don’t let in many goals, but they won only thrice out of their home stadium.
A bet on over 2.5 goals or on the hosts’ scoring over 1 goal looks appealing. Nimes have been scoring in six of the latest seven matches. Given the guests’ present form, a win over the ‘Crocodiles’ does not seem easy. The hosts will continue their no-loss strike as a minimum, or they may even get another win that is no longer sensational.
Prediction for the match: Nimes to win with +0.5 handicap or Draw.
