Alain Pochat was appointed head coach of Amiens on March 11, 2026 and will have to try and bring together a team in turmoil.
Pau FC are doing a little better in the same division, they stand in 11th position having accumulated 39 points from the same number of games.
They are more consistent than their hosts on Friday and arrive in better form, although they have only won one of their last five (W1, D2, L2).
