Marseille vs Amiens Team News

Marseille have been enjoying a solid run since the start of the New Year and would love to keep the momentum going against the relegation-threatened Amiens this Friday.

The Olympiens tasted just one league defeat since late October, and they are coming against a team chasing their first win since November.

That lone defeat since October came against just Nantes two weeks ago in a disappointing 1-3 loss on away soil. Yet, they bounced backed brilliantly with a 3-2 away win at Nimes, who were on a three-match winning streak at home.

Amiens saw their winless run stretched to 15 games after a narrow 0-1 home defeat to Metz. With the defeat, they dropped to 19th on the table, 5 points below the safe zone.

Phocaeans have been scoring goals on the regular and while their defensive records of recent could feel worrying, Andre Villas-Boas has ground to build on at this ground. Indeed, his men kept two clean sheets in four games here in 2020 and we now feel they’ll be very tough to get past once again.

Amiens struggled to turn games their way and the wait for a Ligue 1 win extends over four months, which sees them sitting in the relegation zone at this point.

Even more worryingly, they failed to find the net in any of their last two outings, where they saw Metz (0-1) snatch all important points and still held on to a goalless draw at Strasbourg.

Unicorns have proven themselves a tough nut to crack at Lyon beforehand too and the travelling fans will hope their men can show off once again. Still, it’s hard to see them cause an upset and we’ve seen many punters going for an Away win on Friday evening just a wild longshot.

Can the desperate Les Licornes upset the inform Marseille and inject some momentum into their relegation battle this Friday?
