France is returning to its regular football program, after a couple of rounds of Ligue 1, it's time for a French Cup round of 32, in this matchup, it will be two Second Division teams clashing.
Contents
Under 2.5 Goals
Considering that these teams are not in the upper echelon of clubs that are playing games with over 2.5 goals, it is a logical conclusion that this will be another hard-fought battle. They both only had six out of 17 matches with more than two goals scored. Coincidentally, the last three h2h matches ended with an ‘over', but as this is the Cup game, and with so much hanging in the balance, both teams are going to play to their strengths in keeping their goal safe.
Grenoble to Win
Grenoble didn't restart their season in a good way, they lost both games, but they are still in the better part of rankings compared to their opponents. Nimes has a lot of problems thinking about their Ligue 2 status as they are in the relegation zone. Grenoble won the last four home matches against Nimes.

Team News, Predicted Lineups, and Preview
Grenoble
This is a team that has had a strange season thus far. It is a small miracle that they are holding onto the fifth place even though they barely score any goals. Their goal difference after 17 league matches is at 16:15. They lost both of their matches after the World Cup break without scoring a goal. But still, they are only five points away from the second spot in the rankings that leads to Ligue 1. Their most efficient player is Abdoulie Sanyang with five goals, and once again he will be the biggest threat to Nimes' goal. Coach Vincent Hognon will be without central defender Bart Straalman for this clash. Grenoble's home form has been very good this season even though they failed to win the last two matches, but against Nimes they have a good record, going undefeated in their past five matches. Interestingly, the first time these teams met was in 1999, and it was also in the French Cup with Nimes winning at Grenoble after the penalty shootout.
Predicted lineup: Maubleu, Tchaptchet, Monfray, Diarra, Gersbach, Bambock, Jeno, Paquiez, Ngando, Ba, Sanyang.
Nimes
In the same way as with Grenoble, Nimes is struggling with goalscoring form. But, contrary to their opponents, they are in the relegation zone of Ligue 2. There is still hope that they can avoid a further drop in the league system, and it is questionable how much can they do in the French Cup which isn't the most important competition for them. They did a good job progressing thus far beating a lower league side Montauban 4-0 in the previous round. Malik Tchokounte is their top scorer with seven goals, going for almost half the goals his team recorded this term. He is also one of their oldest players at 34 years of age.
Predicted lineup: Maraval, Labonne, Poulain, Djiga, Burner, Thomasen, Pagis, Nguessan, Benrahou, Said, Tchokounte.
Starting lineups
Starting lineups are usually released 60 minutes before kick-off.
Player to Watch: Abdoulie Sanyang
Right winger from Gambia has been a standout performer for Grenoble this season scoring five goals in 13 matches. This is a positive stat considering that he didn't start in 35 percent of matches his team played this season and played less than 60 percent of available minutes. But, the 23-year-old is proving that he deserves more time on the pitch.
