Match Time & Date:

Prediction: 1-1
Angers
After suffering elimination in both Coupe de la Ligue and Coupe de France, Nimes will be fully focused on the national championship in the remainder of the season. Les Crocodiles sit in the middle of the Ligue 1 table, but they are only six points clear of the relegation zone. Nimes have been struggling at the back of late, but it has to be noted that they played their last three games in all competitions away from home. Angers, on the other hand, sit in the danger zone ahead of Matchday 20, meaning that they would be happy with one point from Saturday’s football match at Stade des Costieres. In their last meeting in the French top flight Nimes defeated Angers 4-3, but we believe that the two teams are going to play out a low-scoring draw this time out as the visitors have been impressive at the back in recent weeks.
Highlighted Player (Téji Savanier):
Born in Montpellier on December 22, 1991, Teji Savanier is a French footballer who plays for Nimes in the Ligue 1 as a midfielder. Savanier began his senior career at Arles-Avignon and it has to be noted that he played for the club from 2011 to 2015.
Ahead of the start of the 2015/2016 Ligue 2 campaign, Teji Savanier joined Nimes and he has been playing for the club ever since. The 171-cm tall midfielder has established himself as a first-team regular at Nimes and he successfully plays for the club in the French top flight. Savanier’s main position is central midfield, but he is used as an attacking midfielder as well. His preferred foot is right.
Despite producing fine performances for Nimes in all competitions, Teji Savanier has yet to receive a call-up for the French national football team. His contract with Nimes should expire on June 27, 2018.
Highlighted Team (Angers):
French Football Federation was founded in 1919, with French football club Angers being founded the same year. Les Scoistes returned to the French top flight at the end of the 2014/2015 season and they finished the 2015/2016 Ligue 1 campaign in ninth place in the standings.
