Montpellier set for big victory at Amiens
Amiens SC vs Montpellier HSC - 11/01/2020
3784
On Saturday night, struggling Amiens will host Montpellier at the Stade Credit Agricole de la Licorne, as the home side look to move out of the Ligue One relegation zone.
Amiens are currently just one point from safety after a poor campaign, in which they have collected just 17 points from 18 Ligue One matches.
A 4-1 defeat at Ligue One’s dominant force PSG last time out means that Amiens have failed to win in six games, suffering a disappointing five defeats in the process. Their last league win was back in November.
The fact that they have conceded at least two goals in all five of those recent defeats has not helped their chances of escaping the relegation zone. However, their recent poor defensive displays may not come as a surprise, as only Toulouse have conceded more goals in Ligue One this season than the home side.
Talking about being the home side, Amiens have found little advantage to playing on home soil of late, as they have recorded just two wins in their last seven outings.
Montpellier are enjoying a pretty solid campaign in Ligue One and sit just four points outside the European places in the French top-flight. A recent inconsistent run of form has hindered the visitor’s chances of getting near the top six.
In their last league game of 2019, Montpellier at least got back to winning ways by recording a 4-0 home win over Brest. The game produced yet another high-scoring match for the visitors, as their last five league games have all produced over 2.5 goals.
If Montpellier are to mount a bid for Ligue One’s top six, then they need to improve their away form, as the visitors have now failed to win in ten matches on their travels.
Forebet predicts that the visitors will boost their chances of European football next season by recording a victory in a high-scoring encounter.
