"Starting with the hosts, while Le Mans might have only made their Ligue 2 return this season, Les Mucistes have embarked on a real fairytale. Only continuing to receive a string of plaudits from across France's second-tier, Patrick Videira's side are riding a major wave of momentum. Last seen in Ligue 2 action securing an impressive 2-1 victory away at Pau FC, they have now won all of their previous three appearances across all competitions."
"As for the visitors, left frustrated last season as they eventually had to settle for a bottom-half finish, Amiens have once again shown some real cause for concern this time around. Rightfully coming under a huge amount of scrutiny, Omar Daf's men are at the heart of a relegation scrap and the pressure is certainly mounting on the former Dijon boss."
Le Mans returned to Ligue 2 this season and have produced a remarkable run, winning their last three matches and remaining unbeaten in 12 consecutive outings since September 12. They secured a 2-1 victory at Pau FC and advanced in the Coupe de France against Villeneuve-la-Garenne. Le Mans have not conceded at the Stade Marie-Marvingt in over 270 minutes and can find a route into the play-off places. Amiens are embroiled in a relegation battle, suffering four straight Ligue 2 defeats by an aggregate 10-5, including recent losses to Guingamp and Troyes, raising defensive concerns.
