The Picards against the Ile-de-France residents, Amiens against the PFC, here is a duel between two teams at the top of the table who have the ambition of playing in the promotion play-offs in Ligue 1, back this year. But, since the start of the season, the two teams have alternated the good and the less good.
The Amiens are thus on a positive dynamic, and can hope to get closer to the podium. 5th in Ligue 2 with 34 points on the clock (9 points from 2nd place), the former Ligue 1 resident is undefeated in the second division since the start of December and a defeat at Troyes (2-0).
The Picards even had three victories in a row against Saint-Étienne (1-0), Annecy (1-0) and Valenciennes (1-0). Optimal form, which allows Omar Daf’s men to continue to hope for a rise to the top of the championship. And towards the elite.
Facing them, the Parisians, 12th and in the soft underbelly of the L2, will try to relaunch a positive series. Defeated at home by Dunkerque (1-2) last week, held to a draw in Laval two weeks ago (1-1) and eliminated from the Coupe de France by Valenciennes (1-2), the partners of Pierre Yves Hamel hope to return to victory and get closer to the play-off places (12th, 31 points). A place currently occupied by their weekend rival.
Amiens-Paris FC kicks off on Saturday February 3 at 7 p.m. on Prime Video.
