We’re all set for an encounter at the Stade Louis-II this Sunday, November 29 at 15:00 CET between two teams who are both used to playing the game at a high level on the pitch. The Monegasques and Nîmes have recovered respectively 61 and 60 balls in the opposing third of the field in Ligue 1 this season, making them the two most efficient teams in this area, along with Paris (60).
Following a fine win against Brest (4-0) at the start of the league season that was filled with promise, Nîmes have since struggled somewhat. Just two draws and a touch of glory in the derby in Montpellier, won by the narrowest of margins. Sunday’s opponents have alternated between good and bad since the beginning of the campaign, but they did regain some morale last week by winning in Reims (1-0), a result that followed four consecutive losses. It was the ultra-versatile Renaud Ripart who gave victory to his team by scoring his second goal of the season, making him the club’s second top scorer, tied with Moussa Koné.
