Amiens vs Nancy Soccer Betting Tips
19th in Ligue 1 last year with only 23 points taken in 28 days, Amiens finished 4 lengths from 18th place and was therefore relegated to Ligue 2 despite the legal actions of its leaders. However, the Picards had started their season quite well. But they were unable to continue at the same pace and went on 16 consecutive days without winning any victory. Now turned to their new season, Luka Elsner’s men have not been full of confidence during the offseason. Apart from a draw obtained against Chambly (0-0), they lost all their matches played against Boulogne sur Mer (0-2), Valenciennes (1-2), Caen (2-1), and Troyes (1- 2).
On the Nancy side, last season will not go down in history. Too irregular, the Lorrainers could not get better than 12th place, far from the race for the elite. However, Jean-Louis Garcia’s men will try to do better this season and have shown good dispositions during the summer preparation. After beating Differdange (0-3), Epinal (2-3) and Saarbrücken (2-1), they obtained a final draw against Sandhausen (3-3) last Saturday.
Staff for Amiens vs Nancy
Amiens let go of many titular or important players during the summer period. this is the case of defenders Lefort (Young Boys), Aleesami (without a club), Jallet (end of career) and Dibassy (Minnesota United), midfielders Kakuta (Lens) and Bodmer (end of career) and striker Diabaté ( Leicester) or Cornette (Le Havre). If he is still present, the top scorer Guirassy (9 goals last year) does not lack courtiers, in England in particular. Otherwise, left midfielder Amadou Ciss (Fortuna Sittard) appears to be the best recruit of the summer on the Picard side.
On Nancy’s side, relatively important full-backs Néry and Muratori left the club after their contract ended. Note also the departure of the attacker loaned by Saint-Etienne Wagner who had scored 7 goals during his passage in the East. His teammate with the Greens, Gueye (5 goals) also returned to the Forez. The only significant recruit to report is attacking midfielder Medhi Merghem, on loan from Guingamp. But he seriously injured his knee during the preparation and will be absent for several months.
