Amiens SC form and stats

With {3 Ligue 1 wins}, 5 draws and 6 defeats from their home games, Amiens SC are certainly not brimming with confidence. The home team are struggling everywhere these days as they haven't won a league-game, regardless of being the home or the away team, in 16 attempts. Amiens SC are slowly digging their own grave here at Stade Crédit Agricole de la Licorne with the depressing streak of not having won a home league game in eight attempts. The last victory here came in the Brest match.

Amiens SC shared the glory with Olympique Marseille in their last match, an away game that ended all square 2-2. Preceding that match was a defeat to Metz (0-1).

There was plenty of action in the dying minutes of the game against Olympique Marseille as Saman Ghoddos's goal in the 90th minute completed a cancellation of 0-2 and secured a draw after 90 minutes. The hometeam coach L. Elsner made a successful contribution in the game against Olympique Marseille, bringing on Saman Ghoddos who scored the equalizer in the 2-2 draw.

The bookmakers consider this a fairly even contest. One could say only the home advantage separates the teams. It could be relevant to look at how Amiens SC have performed in matches similar to this (as small favourites). Our database has found eleven matches with the results: Won six, drawn three and lost two.

The Amiens SC fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 17 in 14 matches. Defensively it’s touch-and-go for the home team as 23 goals have been conceded.
