Insights:
  • Pau has the fewest scored goals in the second half (6) in Ligue 2
  • Amiens SC has the fewest conceded goals in the second half (5) in Ligue 2

There’s little time for restitution or working hard at the training pitch these days, with both teams having played their last game less than four days ago.

These teams have little in common geographically as Amiens SC have to travel 900 kilometers to reach their opponents. The trip home will be especially long if the match ends in defeat.

Pau form and stats

With {2 Ligue 2 wins}, 3 draws and 5 defeats from their home games, Pau are certainly not brimming with confidence. Three consecutive losses here at Stade du Hameau is hard to swallow for the home team. Both players, staff and the home crowd are desperate to get something from this match.

Happy days for Pau in their previous game, a Ligue 2 match away at Guingamp (placed 17th) that ended with a 3-2 victory. Ahead of that match, Pau lost 0-1 at home to Troyes.

There's a new game coming up fairly quickly for Pau as they are travelling to their away game against Nancy in the Ligue 2. That match is three days after this one.

Pau have scored 8 league goals here from 10 matches, not a lot. Pau's goalkeeper has had to pick the ball out of their own net 13 times. For more goal stats, check the Statistics tab above. It's worth mentioning that 7 of these goals has been conceded in their last 3 home matches.

Amiens SC form and stats

The visitors are W4-D2-L5 on the road this term. That's in the Ligue 2.

Stephen Odey scored in Amiens's previous match, the home game against Châteauroux that ended 1-0. Prior to that match, the Amiens manager O. Tanchot faced defeat when travelling to Paris and losing 2-4.

World class coaching! That was the thoughts of manager O. Tanchot when Stephen Odey scored the winning goal after coming on as a substitute in the 29th minute.

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

Amiens are scoring more than one goal per away game on average, having accumulated 14 away goals from 11 games (in the league). As opposed to that, Amiens SC have seen the ball go into their own net 13 times on the road.
