Amiens vs Reims Prediction & Betting tips
Amiens and Stade Reims both fell during the resumption last Saturday. Do the teams in this catch-up match know better?
Amiens:
In-house, Amiens took a 1-0 lead against Montpellier last Saturday against Boukaye Dibassy, but due to a weak second half, Les Licornes lost the win. In the second half, Luka Elsner’s team was unable to establish much, and as two more goals were collected, the tenth league defeat of the season was suffered. Due to the new loss of points, Amiens has since dropped to eighteenth place in Ligue 1 and the Elsner team is guaranteed to occupy another round of play, as the number seventeen, Metz, not only has three more points, but also a much better goal balance.
Despite the defeat, there was also good news for Elsner. Christophe Jallet, who missed most of the games this season due to injury, was finally fit again and played over eighty minutes against Montpellier. At the start of the season, the French defender was a fixture in the Elsner starting line-up, but missed the bulk of the games in recent months as a result of sustained injuries. The 36-year-old defender has been playing in Ligue 1 since 2006 and managed to win all four prizes with Paris Saint-Germain, but in recent years his career has fallen into disrepair and this would also be his last season in view of the many injuries can be.
Stade Reims:
During a visit to low flyer Nîmes Olympique, Stade Reims made little impression last Saturday. The defensive team, in the first place, barely helped to put in danger and went right behind with a 1-0 deficit. Jacques-Alaixys Romao took his second yellow card with more than half an hour to play, after which his team also had to swallow the second goal deep in injury time. With the second defeat of 2020, the team of David Guion has now dropped to tenth place, but with a win on Wednesday-evening, the team of Guion will rise to fifth place.
Romao took his ninth and tenth yellow card of the seasons against Nîmes Olympique and seems to be working towards the one hundred yellow cards in league games in the latter days of his career. The Togolese has been playing at the highest level in Europe since 2008 and is already on ninety yellow cards in 323 league games. In the service of Lorient, Romao took no fewer than twelve yellow cards in the 2011/2012 season, but halfway through the current season the Togolese seems to be breaking that record. Against Amiens, Romao will not be able to increase that number due to a suspension, which will probably give Nyasha Munetsi the chance again in the starting eleven. For the time being, Munetsi had to do mainly with basic places in the cup tournaments and raids in the Ligue 1, but it seems like a worthy replacement for Romao.
