Lyon Preview – Can Lyon shut the door on Amiens?
Lyon will be keen to return to more familiar surroundings on Wednesday night when they entertain Amiens with the hosts eager to set the record straight after their 2-1 defeat away from home on the weekend in Ligue 1 at Nice
The hosts had previously registered wins against Bordeaux and Toulouse in 2-1 and 3-0 victories which had preceded a 1-1 draw away from home at Reims, so they’d enjoyed a 3-match unbeaten run in the French top flight prior to the weekend loss to Nice.
Lyon’s results at home have been fairly inconsistent as their record of 4-2-4 14/6 indicates, but having suffered recent defeats to Lille and Rennes, they set the record straight with a resounding 3-0 win against Toulouse last time out on home turf at their Groupama Stadium.
One thing in Lyon’s favour though is they they possess the joint best defensive record at home to date in Ligue 1 along with PSG and Reims.
Amiens Preview – Can Amiens pull off upset?
The visitors make their way to Lyon on the back of a disappointing sequence of results which has seen Amiens endure a 10-match run without a win in the French top flight, and this barren spell has landed them in the bottom three of Ligue 1 and the relegation play-off spot.
With only 4 wins in total throughout this season’s domestic top flight campaign, Amiens have had a difficult term and things don’t look to be getting any easier with this upcoming trip to face Lyon despite the hosts’ indifferent results of late.
3 of Amiens’s 4 wins this season have been achieved on home turf at their Stade Crédit Agricole de la Licorne which means the visitors possess a poor looking away record of 1-3-7 12/25.
5 defeats on the trot on their travels have seen Amiens lose at Rennes, Montpellier, Monaco, PSG and Brest, while the bigger picture shows that Amiens have collected just 1 away win out of their last 21 matches on the road which is a particularly poor record.
