Nîmes Valenciennes betting prediction


Betting suggestion:

Nimes has a team that has already demonstrated quality in the competition and must win the match as it is pressed in the fight for the first places and picks up a Valenciennes who has a very weak defense and it will take a lot of effort to escape from the relegation zone. The best bet in this event is the owners of the house by necessity and also by having a team more tactically organized.

Preview
Nîmes and Valenciennes face , in a match for the 31th round of the Ligue 2. In the last league head‑to‑head, played in 28‑10‑2016, Nîmes got an away win by (2‑3). The head‑to‑head history of the last 3 years favours the home team, since in the last 5 matches they won 3 and tied 2. The home/away factor is worth special atention, since although this is a match between 7th and 15th of the league table, it’s also a match between the 15th best team in home matches and the 17th best in away matches.

Analysis Nîmes

After 11 wins, 12 draws and 7 losses, the home team is in the 7th position, havinf won 45 points so far. In the last match, they have lost in an away match against Sochaux by (2‑1), after in the previous match they have won (2‑0) at home, against Red Star. Interestingly enough, this is a team that has had better results in away matches than at home, since they have won 27 points in away matches and only 18 at their stadium. For the league, Nîmes won 15 points out of 30 possible points, after 3 wins, 6 draws and 1 loss in the last 10 home matches. The most recurrent result at half‑time in their home league matches was the 0‑0 (6 out of 15 matches). Their offense has scored consistently, as they have scored goals in 9 of the last 10 matches for this competition. In 30 matches for this competition, they have conceded the first goal 8 times and have only turned the score around in 1.

Nimes went from fifth to seventh after losing to Sochaux 2x1 at home and entering a dangerous situation at the end of the competition, where they could no longer lose important points to continue dreaming of a place in League 1. Currently the third place is four points ahead.
 
The team has a good attack and a good defense in the general retrospective and needs to make use of their efficiency already shown in the field to achieve good results in sequence in the last eight matches of the competition. In their last six starts they have only two wins, three draws and one loss.
 
When they play in their stadium, the team is surprisingly shy and cannot score great results, having only three wins, nine draws and three losses in fourteen games, with most of their good results being out of their stadium.

Confirmed Lineup: Yan Marillat, Fethi Harek, Zie Diabate, Theo Valls, Sofiane Alakouch, Anthony Briançon, Teji Savanier, Florian Fabre, Renaud Ripart, Ousmane Cissokho, Christian Kouakou.
Coach: P. Plancque.

Analysis Valenciennes

The away team is currently in the 15th position of the league, with 34 points won, after 7 wins, 13 draws and 10 losses. In the penultimate match, they lost in an away match against Niort, by (2‑1). In the last match, they lost in a home match against Tours, by (0‑4). This is a team that usually makes good use of the home advantage, since they have won 13 points in away matches and 21 points at their stadium, with 19 goals scored and 18 goals conceded at home, against 17 goals scored and 23 conceded in away matches. In the last 10 away league matches Valenciennes has a record of 1 win, 4 draws and 5 losses, so they have won 7 points out of 30 possible. In their away league matches the most frequent result at half‑time was the 0‑0 (7 out of 15 matches). Defensive consistency hasn’t been their best feature, as they have conceded goals in 7 of the last 10 matches for this competition. In 30 matches for this competition, they have conceded the first goal 13 times and have only turned the score around in 1.

Valenciennes lost another match and remained in 15th place, still running a high risk of entering the relegation zone if they did not accumulate at least three victories to reduce their chances a lot and have a quieter final stretch of competition.
 
Having the third worst defense of the competition is what put the team in the situation in which it is, with forty-one goals received in thirty matches, although the offensive sector does not disappoint. In their last six matches they only managed one victory, one draw and four defeats.
 
Despite only two wins away from their stadium, the team drew seven games and lost only six of fifteen, a campaign that can be considered reasonable, especially for a team without much pretension in the competition and whose current objective is to stay in League 2.

Confirmed Lineup: Damien Perquis, Baptiste Aloé, Moussa Niakhaté, Emmanuel Ntim, Loris Nery, Saliou Ciss, Adrien Tameze, Angelo Fulgini, Abdoul Kabore, Lebo Mothiba, Édouard Butin.
Coach: M. Pereira Nascimento.
