It looks more complicated than last season. Opposed to Anzin Saint-Aubin (D1) last year, Amiens had no trouble qualifying for the 8th round of the Coupe de France. For the start of the 2022-2023 edition, the ASC will certainly be favorites but the gap is less with the opponent.
After two consecutive relegations, Chambly, now resident of National 2. But the neighbor of Oise, opponent of Amiens in Ligue 2 during the 2020-2021 season is what we can call a real cup team, semi-finalist in 2018. It’s up to Philippe Hinschberger’s players to be wary.
From 50-50
“The objective is to qualify but it will be 50-50”, explains the Amiens coach who will rotate. “Ange Chibozo will start in attack,” warns the technician. Just like Paul Charruau, the usual number 2 in goal. Régis Gurtner, Gaël Kakuta and Antoine Leautey, injured will not make the short trip just like Nicholas Opoku, suspended.
In the event of qualification against Chambly, Amiens SC will be opposed, in the 8th round, to Aubervilliers (N3) which, this Saturday created the surprise by eliminating Rouen-Quevilly (L2) on penalties. But before that, the Amiens will focus on their next league game and a trip to Pau on November 5.
