Teams. For this first return games, we thought that Cris was going to renew almost the same team as the one who won the draw in Orleans a week earlier (1-1). Chraibi logically replaces Kamissoko, victim of an ankle sprain in the Loiret, in the starting eleven. The surprise comes from the start of the young Gomes in place of Diallo, who was sick earlier this week. Gomes takes the right corridor and it is Tormin who takes the axis. COLELLA regains its right side position.

Attack-defense. Nîmes is the worst national attack (11 goals scored) and confronts the worst defense of the pool (37 goals collected in 16 games)
Black series. The two teams remain on terrible black series. The Berrichonne has only won two games (against Bourg-en-Bresse and QRM) and has won nothing since September 13, for eleven days. Nîmes is not much better with three victories to his credit (none outside), the last dating back to the end of October against Boulogne.
First leg. In August 2024, Nîmes won (1-0) against castelroussins then trained by Patrice Lair. The Nîmes goalscorer, Abdeldjelil, author of 6 of the 11 Gard goals, had scored in the quarter of an hour the only goal of the match.
