Unable to switch to the right part of the table, Amiens SC capped above the red zone without managing to make a substantial and definitive gap. It is therefore with the pressure of the result, which is moreover after the revolting defeat in Pau, that the Picards receive Nancy, this Saturday. Discover the essential information to know a few hours before this match counting for the 28th day of League 2.
An expected reaction
A week after the terrible disappointment in Pau, and even if several executives are still missing (Pavlovic, Gene and Gnahoré), Amiens SC has a real obligation of result when receiving Nancy, a red lantern at the edge of the chasm. Far from being out of the woods yet in the race to maintain, with only five points behind the red zone, the Picards also have no room for error before going to Toulouse to challenge the leader next Tuesday. Almost intractable at home since December (5 wins and 1 draw), Amiens would therefore be well advised to maintain this series and demonstrate that the Pau disappointment was just a simple accident.
The complete presentation of the meeting
Amiens SC deprived of four players, Pau without Daubin
If he has a large expanded, Philippe Hinschberger can not count on a stable group for a few weeks. After Mateo Pavlovic against Nîmes then Aliou Badji and Arnaud Lusamba in Pau, this time it is Owen Gene and Bongani Zungu who are suspended for the arrival of Nîmes. For their part, the Lorrainers have to do without Elliot Simões for the same reason. To these two absences already scheduled, Philippe Hinschberger had to add those of Mateo Pavlovic (foot) and Eddy Gnahoré (knee), injured and already forfeited. In this context, Amiens should present a new-look defense with potentially Formose Mendy shifted in the right lane and the return of Emmanuel Lomotey in the axis, one day for the day after his last match.
The probable compositions
Philippe Hinschberger: “We would like to show our heads in higher places”
“In the last six games, you have drawn three and three wins, you are running at two points per game and you have to drive the point home at some point. Why Toulouse had a shot less well and to have little at one point when there they are five wins in a row? When it is necessary to hurt, they are there to hurt. We must be able to do that because we have the quality and the means. When we have the opportunity to get out of there and we end up in the first part of the table, we will say that we had a good season and I leave it at that. I did not deviate one iota. I’m still like an old fart on my forty-two points. »

Nancy is going to play her all
Red lantern for very long days, Nancy let slip a golden opportunity by losing against Grenoble last week, in a match where nothing smiled for the Lorraine. However, Albert Cartier wants to continue to believe in a happy ending for the ASNL: “In my coaching career, I have always been stronger when I have been in difficult times than in easy times. We had the objective of saving ourselves, we must now set ourselves the objective of the dams. There is nothing that can prevent me from thinking that everything is possible, everything is achievable. ” Back from injury, Giovanni Haag believes that his team ” has nothing left to lose and ambition to take six or seven points against Amiens, Paris FC and Guingamp. »
