Prediction: 3-1
Nimes
Roazhon Park will host Sunday’s football game between Rennes and Nimes, the two teams who sit in the opposite halves of the table ahead of Matchday 38. Rennes are eyeing a place in the Europa Conference League, and we are positive that they will leave their hearts on the field. Nimes, on the other hand, failed to secure the Ligue 1 survival, meaning that they have nothing to play for in Sunday’s showdown.
Since Les Crocodiles are already on vacation, we believe that there is a big value in betting on the home team. Both Damien Da Silva and Flavien Tait are banned for the match, while Jonas Martin is injured for the hosts. As for the visiting team, all Paquiez, Briancon, Miguel, Benrahou, and Martinez are out of contention through injuries. In the first half of the season Rennes outplayed Nimes 4-2 at Stade des Costieres.
Highlighted Player (Jonas Martin):
Born in Besancon on April 9, 1990, Jonas Martin is a French footballer who plays for Strasbourg as a midfielder. Jonas Martin started his youth career at Rigny and after spending four years at the club (1997-2000) he moved to Nimes Olympique in 2000.
Four years later the playmaker joined Montpellier and he made 92 appearances for La Paillade. Martin played 64 games for Montpellier II as well and he spent the 2011/2012 season on loan at Amiens. In the summer of 2016 the French player signed a three-year contract with La Liga team Real Betis and at the end of the season he returned to France, joining Ligue 1 outfit Strasbourg.
His main position is central midfielder, but he is capable of playing as both defensive midfielder and attacking midfielder as well. Jonas Martin has one cap for France U19 team, but he has yet to make his debut for the senior team. His contract with Strasbourg expires on June 30, 2020.
Highlighted Team (Nimes):
Founded on April 10, 1937 Nimes Olympique are a French club that will compete in the Ligue 1 in the 2018/2019 season. Les crocodiles were playing an important role in French football in the last 50s, with the team finishing second on four occasions (1958, 1959, 1960, 1972).
Nimes made it to the French Cup final in 1958, 1961 and 1996, but they eventually failed to lift the trophy. Nimes are well known for their red home colours, but they wear white shirts and white shorts when playing on the travels. Stade de Costieres has been the home of Nimes since 1989, when it was opened.
The venue can hold up to 18,482 spectators and the construction cost €160 million. Speaking of the club’s notable footballers, the likes of Wilson Oruma, Mehmed Bazdarevic, Aliou Cisse, Benjamin Moukandjo, Laurent Blanc, Frederic Piquionne and Eric Cantona were all part of les crocodiles in the past. Montpellier are considered their biggest rivals.
