Niort vs Nimes prediction (1x2)

Two teams which are suffering a lot in this start of the season. Both without a w in, both with 3 draws in first 6 games. But if Niort have 3 points, Nimes have -5 due the 8 points deduction gave by LFP due to fixing game. Niort is coming after a good result, 1-1 at Nancy, but they were most of the time outplayed by the home team. They created few goal opportunities and scored one goal, leveling the score at 1-1 with 7 mins to go. In the remaining time they had a good opportunity at 1-1 missing an undeserved win after all. Even this draw, I can say, is undeserved.. The team is suffering still the missing from inter-season being the main issue. At home they had a difficult schedule losing twice and drew 1. Kone is still doubtful. If Niort had luck in previous round, on the other side NImes had plenty of bad luck. They played at home against Ajaccio and took only a single point despite they were the better team, heavy dominating the guests. Plenty of opportunities but Ajaccio GK was in great shape. In defense to little to worry in this game, Ajaccio being almost nonexistent. They must take much more from any game than they did so far in order to hope for a miraculous survival, which seems impossible at the time of writing. Away they had poor displays so far losing all 3 games at nil, conceding 4 goals. Briancon will miss this game being fresh injured. Perhaps new comer Hermach will be in the squad. Two team which need points. For sure both will attack and is possible to see goals, as we saw in previous few direct confrontations (5 out of last 6 games played in Ligue 2 were over 2.5, even more 4 of these over 3.5- was an average of 4 goals/game) Difficult to believe now we will see goals (Niort and Nimes scored only 2 goals each in 6 games.. ) But I think Nimes will break this bad shape on the road and will snatch a draw. gl
