Prediction: 1-1
OGC Nice
Saturday’s football game at Stade des Costieres pits together Nimes and Nice, the two teams who sit in the middle of the Ligue 1 standings after 12 rounds. Nimes desperately needed a win against Dijon at the weekend and they managed to get one in style. Bernard Blaquart’s troops put an end to their nine-match winless run in the French top flight, with the team regaining a much-needed confidence. Nimes aim to move away from the danger zone, but beating Nice, who are on a three-game winning run in all competitions, is easier said than done. The two teams seem to be evenly matched at the moment and we predict that they are going to share the spoils at Stade des Costieres on Matchday 13. It has to be noted that the two sides face each other for the first time ever in the French elite division.

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.
