Saturday evening, Amiens welcomes Montpellier during a meeting of the 20th day of Ligue 1. Amiens fights for its maintenance while Montpellier hopes to get closer to the podium.
Like the last seasons since his accession to Ligue 1, Amiens finds himself fighting to keep his place in the elite. With only 17 points taken during the first part of the season, the Picards are only 18th in the ranking and virtually barrage. In the league, they have not won since November 2 and have lost 5 of their last 6 games. After losing to Montpellier (4-2) and Monaco (3-0), Lucas Elsner’s men drew against Dijon (1-1) before conceding a new defeat against PSG before the truce (4-1 ). Eliminated by Rennes in the Coupe de France (0-0, 5-4 tab), they once again confirmed their difficulties against Lille this week in the quarter-final of the Coupe de la Ligue (2-0).
For its part, Montpellier has 10 points more than its opponent of the day and points to 9th place in the ranking. Means in December, the Héraultais were held in check by Dijon (2-2) before losing to PSG (1-3) then Lille (2-1). Before the break, they still won widely against Brest (4-0) and did the job with difficulty against the modest fans of Reims Sainte-Anne in the Coupe de France (0-1) last Saturday.
For Amiens, veterans Jallet and Bodmer, defensive cadre Gouano and the important Kakuta are all on the flank because of their respective injuries. In addition to that, the Zungu community will be suspended following his exclusion Wednesday evening.
Suspended last week, the former Nîmois Savanier should make his return. On the other hand, the excellent Mollet is still injured as is the very good defender Mendès and the replacement Kaïboué. For his part, defender Cozza will not play again this season.
The probable compositions for Amiens vs Montpellier:
Amiens: Gurtner – Calabresi, Chedjou, Dibassy, Lefort, Aleesami – Blin, Gnahoré – Bumbu, Guirassy, Cornette.
Montpellier: Rulli – Souquet, Congré, Hilton, Suarez – Le Taller, Savanier, Sambia, Chotard – Laborde, Delort
In the first leg, Montpellier won at home (4-2).
Montpellier have not won any away games this season.
Not necessarily impressive outside, the Montpellier could not succeed in winning at the Unicorn stadium on Saturday evening.
