At the Stade des Antonins, Nîmes Olympique must wake up when they host Valenciennes, for this 19th day of the National, this Friday, January 31 at 7:30 p.m.

With only one victory in the last eleven matches, Nîmes Olympique is in free fall. Like its last match against Châteauroux, the red lantern, Nîmes is determined but shoots itself in the foot. When it is not a lack of efficiency, it is the defense that offers gifts to the opponents.

Deprived of victory since the end of October against Boulogne, Nîmes must react after falling into the red zone. The task will not be easy against a team that has won two games: against the leader, Nancy, and the third-placed team, Orléans.

In addition to the sporting setbacks, the Nîmes club is embroiled in extra-sporting affairs that are weighing down its dynamism. Between the supporters attacked in Châteauroux, the absence of a president, and the coach's statements asking for more presence from the supporters, the atmosphere is not great in Nîmes.
