Relégable et à cinq points d'Orléans, première formation hors de la zone rouge, Nîmes veut enfin prendre des points avec le déplacement à Sochaux. Une rencontre à suivre en direct commenté ici.
Five defeats in a row in the championship, one elimination in the Coupe de France. The Crocos want to get back on track against a Sochaux team in great form.
While waiting for the upcoming arrival of two possible offensive elements, NîmesOlympic must as a priority "find a positive dynamic in the Championship" according to his trainer Frédéric Bompard.
Yet it's not easy to believe it before facing a Sochaux team which has just eliminated Lorient (Ligue 1) in the Coupe de France (2-1), and which has only lost one match in the last ten days (5 wins, 4 draws) and is stacking goals (29 in total, 2nd attack). "We have no margin. If we are at 99%, that will not be enough, warns Waly Diouf. "Under no circumstances should we lose confidence in ourselves, there is no need, insists the Nîmes coach who has opted for a more direct game.
