After crossing swords in French Cup, Saturday December 18, 2021, Toulouse FC and the Olympic Nimes find themselves once again opposed, Tuesday, December 21, as part of the 19e day of League 2. Kick-off at 8:45 p.m.
Toulouse FC must be reassured in Ligue 2
For Toulouse FC, this last match of the calendar year is the opportunity to finish well after a bad patch in the league (a victory over the last six days, four draws and one defeat).
With these poor performances, the Violets lost their leader’s chair to the detriment of the Corsicans of AC Ajaccio and see the pursuers come back to their height (Auxerre, Paris FC, Sochaux). To avoid a nasty surprise at the 38e day, it is urgent to collect as many points as possible.
Nîmes will want his revenge
This Tuesday, December 21, it is on the lawn of Nîmes that Téfécé will have to do the right thing. An opponent that Philippe Montanier’s men say well since they faced (and eliminated) last weekend in 32es final of the Coupe de France.
After conceding an opener against the course of the game, the Toulouse evolved by scoring four goals through its offensives: Rhys healey, Rafael Ratão (suspended for the trip to Nîmes) and Teen Onaiwu two times. After a long slump (he had not scored since September), the Japanese international was full of confidence against the Crocos.
In Ligue 2, the Gardois (10e) are stuck in the soft belly. However, in the league, they remain on three victories in the last five meetings. Relegated last year, the Nîmes remain tough opponents. Not bad for Toulouse, who often succeed this season against the “big guys”.
Coupe de France: the TFC knows its next opponent
Winner of Nîmes (4-1), Saturday, December 18, 2021, the Violets will be opposed to AS Cannes on behalf of the round of 16 of the Coupe de France. The residents of National 3 managed the feat of knocking down Dijon (L2) on penalties (1-1 at the end of regulation time). The meeting will take place on Sunday January 2 or Monday January 3, 2022.
