Nimes
Haris Duljevic set to miss up to a month with a thigh injury sustained on international duty.
Besides Duljevic and long-term absentee Depres, Nîmes must keep faith with the same XI that drew with Dijon, despite having failed to score.
Toulouse
Gen Shoji absent against Sainte, but could be back here.
Japanese defender failed to return to fitness, looking to partner Bafodé Amian Kelvin Diakite in defense.
Wesley Saïd could also start on the right side of attack, while Aaron Leya Iseka is an option at center forward after starting and scoring last weekend.
Nimes vs Toulouse Betting Tips
Toulouse just stay in the league last year with Alain Casanova back at the helm following a three year hiatus, but it looks as if France is now taking the club in the upward direction following a positive start to the campaign. They have lost one of their opening five games and with this comes against PSG, Toulouse fans should be quite satisfied with their start to this campaign. They almost got another impressive result last week when they drew 2-2 with Saint-Étienne but Violet throw away a two goal lead to be disappointing Casanova.
Toulouse has scored six goals in the opening five games of their unusual but they have created the best chances sixth in the league with 6.97 XG see that they rank above the likes of Marseille and Lyon. Toulouse would not be too confident for this match though as they currently have XGA second worst in the league and will be the team to go for this one. They did not win on the last twelve away matches them with 25 goals conceded in the process.
Nîmes has a better record when playing at home so they can reinvent themselves in Costieres Stadium. Nîmes has lost only two of their last eleven home matches this defeat coming against higher opposition in Nice and Lyon. Nîmes won their last home game 3-0 against Brest.
Nîmes ideal campaign start with two defeats and a draw in their first three games, but they face a very tough opponent in this game such as Nice, PSG and Monaco. Such as Toulouse, Nimes also has scored six and conceded seven goals this season with nearly identical stats XG and XGA. It can serve up enough interesting match as a result.
This match will see two league's worst defense in the case of XGA come up against each other and with both teams OK for the purpose, we both teams to score in this one. Nîmes has scored in 15 of their 16 home games when Toulouse has scored in six of their last seven games. We are also going to tip this one in favor of the host as Nîmes has displayed very strong home record since being promoted to Ligue 1 last year. As a result, we see this one for a 2-1 finish
Nimes vs Toulouse: Predictions
Before making the prediction results, we can not ignore the statistics at 100% and one of the options we would see under 2.5 goals. We do not expect a lot of opportunities here for Toulouse primarily will be more than happy to come away from this game with a point.
Nimes will be more attacking intent, but we must give the away side the respect after losing only one match this season. If the action happens and hope more breakthrough occurred in the second half of play. Therefore, we will take the draw at half-time as our top pick.
