St Etienne - Nimes Prediction, Picks and Tips
Match between Saint Etienne and Nimes olympique, where I see the surprise victory of the visitor, Nimes olympique. I do not discover anything if I say that the Saint Etienne is superior to the Nimes olympique. They are located in the fifth location, and trying to enter at least the Europa League for the next season. And the Nimes olympique is in the middle of the table, without pressure, far from European cups and away from the descent. In addition, it is a team "of medium hair", which in this century was quite in third and second French division. However, I see that the conditions are right for you to have a victory of Nimes, due to the STATE OF FORM OF BOTH.
The Saint Etienne, being a team that does 7 games does not achieve a draw, has been divided between victories and defeats, but what is more important for this pick, is that it is having many DEFEATS: of the last 3 games he lost 2, and 3 of the last 6. Although it is also worth saying that he lost to teams that are above them in the table: PSG, Lille and Olympique de Marseille. But it was a team that, beyond losing to superior teams, did not show sufficient strength in the field to at least "make them stronger" to their rivals, mainly in the offensive part, since in those defeats I DO NOT MARK ANY GOL. They worried too much about the defensive, and that's how they did not score.
Let's go to Nimes olympique, a team that arrives WITHOUT PRESSURES to this game, something that can play in their favor. The obligation is for Saint Etienne, who has to win to continue "in cup positions" and also for the obligation to be a tenant. Let's review his last 6 matches: They lost to the PSG, a totally lost party, and therefore, it would not be advisable to take it into account. The defeat was 3 to 0. The other defeat of those last matches, was 2 to 1 against Amiens, match PESIMO of Nimes. But in the rest they were not so bad: they tied with Montpellier 1 to 1, they thrashed 4 to 2 at Nantes, they won 2 to 0 at Dijon and drew 2 with Strasbourg. If something stands out from those games is that the CAPACITY AND OFFENSIVE AMBITION of Nimes olympique is very good, and with that, they can hurt Saint Etienne a lot. Al Nantes scored 4 goals, Dijon scored 2 and Strasbourg scored 2. That's why it's important that they have scored goals in 5 of the last 6 matches.
