Nancy form and stats

Nancy, who have the most conceded goals (18) in Ligue 2, have played 4 Ligue 2 games at their own stadium so far this season, resulting in 0-1-3 (wins-draws-losses).

No payout for Nancy in their previous match, an away game at Grenoble Foot 38 that ended in defeat 1-4. Midfield player Warren Bondo got a match rating of 7.15 in that game, the max score being 10. Bondo hit two key passes, dribled past the opponent 1 of 1 times and had 32 successful passes (of 39 total).

Before that, Nancy drew at home versus Le Havre.

This is expected to be a close game, with Nancy perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Nancy as a small favourite), we find 13 games. Nancy has won five of these, drawn four and lost four.

The lack of attacking qualities in Nancy means that they have only scored 2 goals in 4 league home games, less than half a goal per match. Defensively there's plenty of potential for improvement as Nancy have allowed the opposition to score 10 goals here at Stade Marcel-Picot.

Amiens SC form and stats

As the visiting team in Ligue 2 matches, Amiens SC have produced an overall stat of 1-2-1 so far. Two points from the last two away games for Amiens, which the math geniuses among you will translate to two draws.

There were no winners in Amiens SC's previous match, a Ligue 2 home game that ended 2-2 vs Pau (placed 6th). The draw against Pau came from a losing position. The Amiens SC manager P. Hinschberger brought on Tolu Arokodare as a substitute and the player scored to make the scores level. Mateo Pavlović was the top performer of the team in that game with a match score of 7.7. The defender Pavlović scored one goal and won 7 of 11 duels.

Before that, Amiens travelled to Nîmes and returned home with a draw after the game finished 3-3.

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 eleven relevant matches. Results were one Amiens SC win, five draws and five defeats.

Amiens SC are not goal shy away from home in the league, finding the net 6 times in 4 away games so far. Defensive performances away have varied in quality as Amiens have conceded 6 goals on the road. For more goal statistics, check out the Statistics tab above.
