Nimes start this game only one point above the relegation zone and have gone four league games without scoring a goal. This is their first season back in Ligue 1 since the 1992-93 season having finished last season as Ligue 2 runners-up. They got off to a great start winning their first two league games but then lost the next two. An eventful 3-3 draw at Bordeaux followed in which they trailed 1-0 and 3-2 but led 2-1. That was the first of three successive league draws but the other two were against sides currently in the bottom three. The last three league games have produced just one point, so they come into this match with no wins in their last eight games. Take away that draaw with Bordeaux and their last two home matches have both ended goalless.

St Etienne drew their last game but they had a 1-0 lead at home to Rennes. That makes it two league wins in a row without a win after a previous defeat at Lille. Before that they had won three successive league games recovering from a slow start that saw them draw their previous three league matches. Away form has seen St Etienne win just one out of five in Ligue 1 and have only scored five goals on the road this season. Both of these sides lack consistency but both have four league draws to date. Go for this game to end all level with under 2.5 goals being scored.
