Venue: Stade Marcel-Tribut (4200 seats)

Season ticket holders at Stade Marcel-Tribut haven’t seen too many victories this season, with Dunkerque languishing in the 18th position so far. The guesting Amiens SC will be hopeful to defend their higher league position in this one.

Insights:
  • Dunkerque have the fewest points from losing position (2) in Ligue 2
  • Amiens SC have played more matches over 2,5 goals away than home.

It's no vacation for neither Dunkerque nor Amiens SC as both were in action only a few days ago. Expect some tired legs on the pitch and/or possibly some changes to the lineups.

Relegation threatens Dunkerque who should definitely be looking for some points here. Amiens are fighting to avoid relegation and will work hard for points.

Dunkerque form and stats

Dunkerque have collected 21 points from their Ligue 2 home games so far after 5-6-5.

The fans are hoping that Dunkerque will strike back in this match, putting things right after the 1-2 away loss in the Ligue 2 game against Auxerre (placed 5th). Preceding that game was the away draw at Caen that finished 1-1.

This is expected to be a close game, with Dunkerque perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Dunkerque as a small favourite), we find ten games. Dunkerque has won four of these, drawn four and lost two.

Some members of the home team might already be thinking of their next match, the Ligue 2 game versus Sochaux in only three days. This game is also played here at Stade Marcel-Tribut.

The Dunkerque fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 17 in 16 matches. From these home matches, Dunkerque have conceded only 14 goals.

Amiens SC form and stats

There's been little loot from Amiens SC's travels as they have only collected 16 points from 17 away games in the Ligue 2. Amiens SC only have 4 wins to counter their 9 defeats and 4 draws.

It's another away game for the visitors, as they travelled to Ajaccio (placed 11th) in their previous outing. The Ligue 2 match ended in a draw 2-2. Before that, Amiens SC secured a home win against Valenciennes with the score 3-1.

The draw against Ajaccio came from a losing position. The Amiens manager O. Tanchot brought on Adama Diakhaby as a substitute and the player scored to make the scores level.

So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Amiens playing away and similar expectations, we found ten relevant matches. Results were two Amiens SC wins, three draws and five defeats.

A new game in only three days for Amiens, the Ligue 2 home match versus Guingamp. Busy days.

The attacking power of Amiens when travelling is not overwhelming with 16 goals scored from 17 league matches away. Amiens have conceded 25 goals in these away matches.
