Command Analysis

Amiens

Current form
Amiens finished last season in eighth place in Ligue 2, and the team remains in the same position now. After 16 matches, the hosts are four points behind fifth place, which gives them the opportunity to fight for a place in Ligue 1. In their last home match, the club unexpectedly lost to Laval with a score of 1:3, although before that they managed to win away against Grenoble (2:0). Amiens will no longer be able to fight for the French Cup - in the 1/32 finals, Amiens suffered a sensational defeat to modest Thann (1:2) from the regional league.
Disqualifications and injuries
Kylian Keibo received a red card in the last round, while Sebastian Corchia and Mamadou Fofana will miss the match due to injuries.

- The hosts have had red cards in four of their last five matches
Estimated lineup: Gurtner - Vita, Yauab, Urogide, Shaban - Boya, Zheni - Leoti, Luten, Kandil - Mafuta

Troyes

Current form
Troyes is not even close to promotion to Ligue 1, although they clearly have ambitions. Last season, the club should have been relegated to the third league, but was saved by the bankruptcy of Bordeaux, which allowed the guests to remain in the second division. Now the team is in the middle of the tournament table, in 13th place, but has managed to break away from the relegation zone by only three points. After an away defeat to Lorient (0:2), they managed to crush Martinique on their home field (4:0). Unlike their opponent, Troyes managed to go further in the cup, beating Metz with a score of 3:0.
Disqualifications and injuries
Matis Hamdi will not play due to injury. Mehdi Takhrat is in doubt.
Interesting trends for betting
- The team has won three of its last four matches.
- The visitors have lost only one of their last ten matches.
Probable line-up: Boucher - Bura, Monfrey, Diaz, Iveru - Adeline, Kante, Diop - Iri, Ba, Said.

2.35Tip and bets
The hosts are higher in the table, but Amiens' recent matches have mostly been disastrous. They have managed to win only once in the last six rounds, although their opponents have not been the most formidable. At the same time, the visitors are currently showing an excellent game and are almost not inferior - in ten matches they have lost only to the league leader, Lorient. We believe that Troyes can easily win in Amiens.
Our prediction is Asian handicap (0) on Troyes for 2.25
Bet on total
The visitors have scored seven goals in the last two matches and will probably continue to stick to the attacking style of play, because it brings results. The hosts also show excellent play in attack, so this match will probably be productive.
Our prediction is total over 2.5 goals for 2.18
Bet on the first half
We don't expect the opponents to go forward in force immediately after the starting whistle. It will obviously take time to get to know each other. In this scenario, a draw at the end of the first half is likely.
Our prediction is a draw in the first half at 2.00
