Nimes take on Saint-Etienne in the French Coupe de la Ligue – 1/16 finals. The match will be held on Tuesday, November 27th at Stade des Costieres (Nimes).
It is difficult for newcomers to the Ligue 1 to perform properly in each match. Nimes’ strive to do their best in each encounter, however, appeals to us. Looks like the hosts are not afraid of any opponent. They miss the class sometimes though. We cannot but remind you of their 3 goals in the nets of Bordeaux and Marseille, 2 in the net of Paris Saint-Germain, and 1 recent goal that they’ve recently scored to Dijon. Surprisingly, Nimes either shoot a lot or cannot score at all, but in over half of the matches they did score. Most recently, they had a clash with Saint-Etienne, and by all means they did not look like an outsider there.

For the guests’ part, in our view, they have more important matches than the French Coupe ahead. They really can go far there, circumstances allowing, but they will never be able to win the Cup. Saint-Etienne have a great chance to struggle for the Europa League and maybe even for the Champions League. Their home turf is their fortress – no defeat on the road; when away, however, they lost 3 times already, got only 1 win, and regularly miss. Considering their record, we would not call their defense strong. 12 of 18 goals they allowed in outings.
We can possibly bet on the hosts’ win with 0.0 handicap, but it may happen that Nimes score 2 goals and do not win at this. Given the Greens stats in away matches, we believe that the margin over 1.68 on the hosts’ individual total over 1.0 goals is too high. Indeed, Nimes may score only once, but they will score for sure, in spite of some problems with the squad.
Prediction for the match: Nimes individual total Over 1.0 goals.
