Nimes
Stade Raymond-Kopa will host Sunday’s football game between Angers and Nimes, the two teams who sit in the opposite halves of the table ahead of Matchday 22. Angers aim to put an end to their three-game losing run, and a win over Nimes will see them move a little closer to the Europa League berth. The likes of Mangani, Cabot, and Diony are all pushing for a start. Les Crocodiles, on the other hand, aim to build on a 2-1 win over Olympique Marseille.
Nimes were not in action at the weekend, and seeing that tired legs are unlikely to prove to be a problem for the visitors, away win should be considered. In their last meeting in the French top flight Angers outclassed Nimes 5-1, meaning that the visitors are hungry for revenge. A man to watch in the away team will be Niclas Eliasson, who scored a brace against OM.
