Nimes vs Rennes

After surprisingly defeating Reims in the previous round, Nimes approaches the salvation area significantly, now only five points away despite the penultimate place and an attack that remains one of the least prolific of the entire transalpine championship, in fact the hosts have achieved only 15 goals in 19 games, an average that is decidedly unsuitable for aiming to remain in the highest expression of French football. Within the friendly walls the general budget sees three wins, two draws and four defeats.

Rennes returns from the painful knockout suffered against Marseille, in the direct clash between formations that aspire to a place in the next Champions League. This is the sixth league defeat for the visiting team, a formation that has very little propensity to divide the stakes, a situation that has occurred only three times since the start of the championship. For the rest we have 10 wins and 6 defeats, with an external performance that is the fourth best thanks to the four successes obtained far from the friendly public. Excellent performance of the rear guard, which is the fourth least traveled considering the 18 goals scored.

The most recent direct clashes saw Nimes win in April 2019, while Rennes won on 22 December 2018.
