Mexique et Nîmes vont de l'avant depuis le début de la phase retour. Midi Libre – ALEXIS BETHUNE

The 22nd day of National takes place this Friday, February 23 where Nîmes, at the Antonins stadium, hosts Villefranche, at 7:30 p.m.

Since the start of the return phase Nîmes has been in good shape. 3 wins and a draw allowed the Crocos to find some bite and get out of the red zone. Faced with a direct competitor for maintenance, Nîmes (10th, 26 points) can overtake Villefranche (9th, 28 points) in the event of success.

Villefranche, due to extra-sporting problems, has three matches to replay and is at a lower rank than its results obtained on the field. It will therefore be a good test for the Nîmes against a well-established team.

For this meeting, Frédéric Bompard will be able to count on his latest winter recruit: Sané finally operational. Sacko and Burner are back in a group which does not change compared to the victorious one at Châteautoux last weekend (0-1). Only Paviot replaces Diouf, in central defense, suspended.
