Our prediction for this Ligue 1 match:
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.
