THE PREDICTION
Nimes-Olympique simply must win this one as their hopes of survival, or even just a relegation playoff spot, are fading. A relatively impressive points tally of 35 points so far isn’t enough for them to have climbed out of the bottom two but a 3-0 win at Metz last weekend will have given them a confidence boost. They come up against a Lyon side still hunting a top three finish and Champions League qualification - potentially at the expense of PSG. An impressive away record of just one defeat in their 18 matches will give them huge confidence ahead of this one, especially as Nimes are one of only three teams to have lost ten or more home games.
