France Ligue 2 match preview: Amiens SC - Monaco FC

Written by: Valeri Published: 18-01 00:41:27

Last in the table

Amiens are having big difficulties in Ligue 2 this season, finding themselves on the last place. The team is in very bad form, losing 4 of their last 5 games in the league and suffering a defeat against minnows Pontarlier in the French cup. Amiens have achieved only 2 wins so far this season - both at home. Yes, the team has lost only 3 times at home, but it`s 4 points away from the safety zone and the direct clash against Monaco could mean a lot - especially if Amiens lose it. Amiens is the team with the least scored goals (14), together with Arles.

New owner - new perspectives

Monaco were bought by Russian billionaire Dmitry Rybolovlev, who promised to invest 100 mln. euro in the club in the next 4 years. That was met with optimism by the prince of Monaco Albert and, surely, by all the fans. Monaco had a disastrous first half of the season in which they managed to win only 1 game. However, after the break "The Red and Whites" won away to Isres (0:1), thanks to a goal from Ludovic Giuly. Manager Marco Simone has a lot of quality players at his disposal - Helstad, Vahirua, the above-mentioned Giuly, Germain, Dumont, Yatabare, Hansson, Carasso... It would be a shame if the club relegated at the end of the season, but I don`t really think that anyone is going to let this happen.

Value on Monaco

If there is a value here it`s on Monaco side, who look determined to get away from the relegation zone. The guests have a good mix of experienced players and youngsters who should be capable of performing way better in Ligue 2 and I think we will soon see Monaco out of the danger. Amiens look troubled so the DNB option for Monaco looks solid.
