Valenciennes, Recent FormWith Ajaccio sitting a clear 14 places above them in the table, Valenciennes won't feel totally dejected with their 2-1 away defeat by them last time out. During that encounter they had 56% possession and had 4 attempts on goal with 2 on target, while their opponents hit 3 of their 6 shots on goal.
Having scored just 2 goals in their last 6 games, it will be glaringly obvious to their manager Ahmed Kantari where he needs to focus his attentions if they are going to get more points on the table. Hoever, he will still have one eye on his defence which has shipped 7 in the same period. They have only kept 1 clean sheet in their last 6 home games, and this season overall, they have failed to score in 11 of their 19 games.
The misery continues for VAFC, having not won any of their last 15 games.
Amiens, Recent FormLast time out for Amiens resulted in a perhaps unsurprising 0-0 draw against Caen in a match they really wanted to win. They achieved 49% possession in that match and had 14 strikes at goal, with 3 hitting the target, up against Caen's tally of 10 efforts at goal, 3 of which were on target.
While they have been reasonably effective at circumventing their opponents defence, scoring 5 in their last 6 games, it's largely been tit for tat with their own defence proving to be equally ineffectual, conceding 7, and leading to valuable points being dropped. They've failed to keep a clean sheet in 5 of their last 6 away games.
They've had a less than ideal run of form recently, winning just 1 of their last 6 games.
Andy Carroll will be keen to get his name on the scoresheet against Valenciennes in this match, having already scored 2 goals in his last 6 away games for Amiens.
Nothing to write home about from their previous encounter, with no goals and both teams having to settle for a share of the points.
With at least 1 goal in each of their last 4 away matches against VAFC in the league, Les Licornes have built a decent scoring record that they will be keen to extend. In the previous 2 league encounters between these two teams, Les Licornes have failed to score a single goal against VAFC. The Amiens defence tends to hold pretty firm when they visit Les Athéniens in the league, with Amiens conceding just 1 goal in their last 3 meetings.
In the league, VAFC has had a poor run at home against Amiens, being unable to secure a win from any of their last 5 meetings at Stade du Hainaut.
With no real injury worries, VAFC manager Ahmed Kantari will be happy to have his full squad available for selection.
Amiens manager Omar Daf has no real injury worries ahead of this clash.
