THE PREDICTION
Bottom-placed Nimes are enduring a miserable time at the moment having lost ten of their last 12 games and the pressure on manager Jerome Arpinon was compounded following their heavy 5-0 defeat to Strasbourg midweek. The board has sought to hire Pascal Plancque as co-manager in an attempt to improve matters and only time will tell if that raises performances. A positive result looks highly unlikely here against Lille though, as the visitors will surely be determined to bounce back from their midweek defeat to Angers, which marked their first home league defeat since February. Lille will be in no mood to drop more points in the title race and they should wrap this one up early against the strugglers so consider backing the visitors to be leading at both half-time and full-time.
