Nimes are no longer the team that stayed 2 season in Ligue 1. Now they just have a mediocre existence in Ligue 2. The club's new coach, Nicolas Usaï, said that he would not to use a third of his squad for his third match in seven days at Valenciennes.

The coach will be able to count on his two latest attacking recruits, 19-year-old striker Pablo Pagis, on loan from Lorient, and 22-year-old left winger Rafiki Said, released by Brest. However, there are altogether 5 players injured and 2 others absent for personal reasons. It’s not easy to set up a new XI in such a short time.

Valenciennes are a solid team. They score little (19th in attack, 4 goals) but concede little (3rd best defense, 4 goals. This will make it extremely difficult for Nimes because they don’t have a solid defense.

Another fact is that Nimes only plays well at home. The players are in lack of confidence away from their home turf.

Let’s back Valenciennes.

尼姆已经不再是那个在法甲呆了两个赛季的球队了。 现在他们只是在法乙联赛中平平淡淡的存在。 俱乐部的新教练乌萨伊说，7天内踢3场比赛，这次对瓦朗谢纳他有三分之一的队员缺席。

乌萨伊将能够依靠他的两个最新的进攻新兵，19岁的前锋Pablo Pagis，他是从洛里昂租借来的，还有22岁的左边锋Rafiki Said，是从布雷斯特引进的。然而，总共有5名球员受伤，另有2名球员因个人原因缺席。 要在这么短的时间内组建一个新的阵容是不容易的。

瓦朗谢纳是一支稳定的球队。他们得分少（攻击力第19位，4球），但失球少（防守第3位，4球）。这将给尼姆带来极大的困难，因为他们没有稳固的防守。

另一个事实是，尼姆只在主场发挥出色。 球员们在离开他们的主场时缺乏信心。

让我们支持瓦朗谢纳。
