Pau FC are the form side in Ligue 2
Pau FC have been in excellent form this season, sitting 5th in Ligue 2 in the playoff hunt. They came into their own with a tough 1-0 away victory over Montpellier HSC last time out, bouncing back from consecutive defeats in league and cup matches.
The hosts are a pragmatic, attack-minded side, utilising width and tempo changes to stretch opponents and create chances, but lapses in concentration have often caused Nicolas Usai to change formation to shore up the defense. Since joining the club in July 2023, Usai has encouraged his side to be positive in their play, not shying away from playing in the opponent’s half.
Our Pau FC vs SC Amiens prediction considers that Giovani Versini has been in good goalscoring form for Pau FC, hitting three goals in 15 Ligue 2 appearances so far, but Rayan Touzghar has recently stepped up and scored two of their last five, giving them a focal point in attack.
Amiens have been in poor form lately
Amiens have been in a poor spell of form lately, losing four of their last five in all competitions, with their only positive result being a win in the Coupe de France. They are hovering just above the relegation zone, sitting in 16th with 15 points from 16 matches.
Omar Daf has managed the club since July 2023, and he has made his mark by setting up a compact and solid block that is difficult to break down, particularly away from home. Amiens are not a ball-dominant team, and instead look to use turnovers and quick transitions to hurt opponents.
In this Pau FC vs SC Amiens preview, it’s worth noting that Yvan Ikia Dimi has been the main man for the visitors this season, notching four goals in 15 Ligue 2 games, and he is the main outlet for counter-attacks.
