Amiens SC form and stats

Let's have a look at how Amiens SC performed last season in the Ligue 2: They landed a 14th position in the league table after playing out 9 victories, 17 draws and 12 defeats. In total they scored 43 and conceded 41 goals in these matches. The numbers for away games only are: Won 2 - drew 11 and lost 6 with 17/25 goals scored/conceded.

Amiens SC are the outsiders in this one, but not by much. Their performance in similar games (being the away team and moderate outsiders) is 1 win, 6 draws and 5 defeats. From a total of 12 matches.

It's a day of discovery for Amiens as they finally learn what impact all the hours of pre-season training, along with the changes in personnel, have had on their performance in an official game. It's never easy knowing what to expect based on friendly games, of which Amiens SC have played three with the results W2-D0-L1 (win-draw-lost). In these games Amiens SC has scored 8 goals and conceded 7 times.

Head 2 Head

As for the last ten games between these two teams, there's four Metz victories, two draws and four Amiens SC wins. Over/under statistics; four of these games ended with three goals or more, six matches with two goals or less.
