Monday evening, ASSE goes to the Stade des Costières to face Nîmes. An oh so important match between two poorly ranked who are direct adversaries in the race for maintenance. The club that will leave with the three points will take a big step forward and will deal a blow to the morale of its opponent.
Nîmes is having a lot of trouble this season in Ligue 2. Down two years ago, the Crocodiles will not go back to Ligue 1 this year. The club trained by Frédéric Bompard and currently 17th in relegation position. Yet there had been better recently. The Nîmes had chained two successes at the end of January, but there they remain on a defeat and a draw.
Will ASSE go down to National? For the moment, the residents of the Stade Geoffroy-Guichard are playing with fire. The Stéphanois are currently 16th and first non-relegated. Things have been going a little better since the start of the year for Mathieu Cafaro’s teammates, who have won four times in the last six games. We will have to continue like this if they want to maintain themselves.

The editor’s prognosis
The two opponents are poorly ranked and will want to take points to extricate themselves from the red zone or separate themselves from it as much as possible. A split in points seems to be logical, with a 1-1 draw.
