Amiens SC form and stats

Amiens SC have collected 14 points from their Ligue 1 home games so far after 3-5-5. 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 14 attempts. With seven home Ligue 1 games in a row without a win, the Amiens SC fans could feel they are not getting value for their money. It remains to be seen whether this unfortunate streak, which started after the Brest game long ago, can be stopped today.

The home team returns to Stade Crédit Agricole de la Licorne after being equal after 90 minutes with Strasbourg (placed 6th) on their last time out; the Ligue 1 game ended 0-0. The spoils were shared after 90 minutes before that, a home game that ended 4-4 versus Paris Saint Germain.

The attacking players of Metz have been feeble for some time now, the team not scoring a league goal in the last 268 minutes.

Metz are the outsiders in this one, but not by much. Their performance in similar games (being the away team and moderate outsiders) is four wins, five draws and three defeats. From a total of twelve matches.
