Amiens Preview – Can Amiens kick-start season?
Wednesday night’s hosts, Amiens, are seemingly stuck in a rut as they prepare for the visit of Reims in Ligue 1 as the home side look for a way to halt their current slump in form which has seen Amiens lose 6 of their last 7 matches overall in Ligue 1.
Recent losses to Rennes, Strasbourg, Montpellier, Monaco, PSG and Montpellier (again) have not only been disappointing defeats in their own right, but Amiens have also conceded a total of 20 goals and scored just 5 in reply during this worrying sequence of losses.
Confidence is therefore understandably shaky at best at the Stade Crédit Agricole de la Licorne as Amiens have also lost 2 of their last 3 matches on home turf amidst their overall home record which stands at 3-2-4 11/15, which has contributed to leaving them third from bottom in Ligue 1 and just 2 points above the relegation zone.
Overall, Amiens have won just 2 of their last 8 matches at home in the French top flight and could face another stern test in the shape of Reims on Wednesday night.
ReimsPreview – Can Reims remain stubborn on the road?
By contrast, Reims currently occupy the relative safety of a mid-table position of 10th place on the Ligue 1 ladder prior to tonight’s trip to Amiens, having suffered just 1 defeat out of their last 7 matches overall in the French top flight.
This one loss came in the shape of a 2-0 loss away at Nimes on the weekend, so they’ll be keen for a better showing on Wednesday night, as well as seeking to further improve upon an away record which reads an inconsistent looking 4-1-4 7/7.
Recent results on the road have rather predictably been inconsistent as well as Reims have captured wins at Rennes and Toulouse but have suffered defeats at Nice and the aforementioned Nimes.
The visitors will also be encouraged by the 2-2 draw last time they met with Amiens back in March last year.
